Better Days 210

O Death

Thursday, March 23rd
10:00 pm - 12:00 am Pacific
CFRO 102.7 fm

Webcast : www.coopradio.org

This week's edition of Better Days, episode 210,
features songs and writings which pertain, either
directly or through metaphor, to death and dying.

Will it make for a sad and morbid show? You'll have
to listen and decide for yourself. There are so many
transporting and resonant songs relating to the
end of a life, to the mysteries that attend the event
of a soul abandoning a body, and to the events which
lead to this transition.

As we grow older, the experiences of friends and
family dying are closer together, more frequent.
This week's edition of Better Days will, I hope,
have the ability to bring to mind and heart some
of the wisdom and feeling we gain from those
who have left us, and to share some of the stories
that are raised to their memory.

Better Days originates in Vancouver, Canada, and
is heard around the corner in the listening area at
102.7 fm, and around the world via webcast at

www.coopradio.org

Better Days 210 : O Death airs this Thursday night,
the 23rd of March from 10:00 pm to 12:00 am Pacific.

I hope you'll join me.
