Season 6, Episode 1 - The Music Stopped on Valentine's Day - a full length radio play

from Dr. Heather Uncensored: focus on trauma - serious, fun, healing · host Heather Herington

Send us Fan MailThe Music Stopped on Valentine’s Day, a full-length radio play, tells the story of Avi Noam Gross—my late husband—whose life ended due to a medical error. It weaves this painful narrative with his music, because I needed a way not only to tell what happened, but to honour Avi’s extraordinary musicianship.Avi was a gifted composer and pianist. He completed his thesis on Bill Evans at the University of British Columbia, and his instrumental album Sophie’s Heart is currently streaming. This piece features his standalone songs as well as music from our original musicals, The Calling Hour and Meshugeneh, the Musical. The Old Show had already been written, and we were on the verge of workshopping it when Avi received the Tdap vaccine and suffered a catastrophic reaction.I won’t go further into the details here—you know the story does not end well.With The Music Stopped on Valentine’s Day, I hope you will come to know what happened to an extraordinarily talented, humble, and deeply intelligent man—one who was often misunderstood because of his unique nervous system, which placed him on the autism spectrum. It will be three years this Valentine's Day that Avi passed. With any luck he's hanging out with Bill Evans. Deep thanks to my friends who helped with the show in some way: Josea Cooper, Walt (guitar) Aly, Shirley Perry, sound engineers MG ( flute), KvH, CM, as well as Michelle, and Paul J. Gratitude to my LA solo coach Jessica Lynn Johnston and Mira Wilder especially instigating the change of focus of the show. And to Beau, for all the licks and tail wags and hiking the North Shore trails! NEW ONLINE WORKSHOP, especially for those with ADDICTION:Create a radio play - write it using the circumstances and characters of the bumps on your life path.
