Sonic Overload 4/20/15

Losing a friend at any age is difficult... losing one at a young age is even worse. My dear friend Chelle LaBarge passed away over the weekend after a long battle with cancer. She was only 48. I can’t put the grief I’m feeling into words. She was a wonderful person with a sharp, caustic sense of humor that was a very thin veneer for her kind and loving heart. She was a passionate music fan and we certainly bonded over that but our friendship ran a lot deeper than just musical taste. She lived about four hours from us, near Albany, NY, and I didn’t get to see her nearly as much I would have liked, especially the past few years. I wrote on here last week that we should always cherish our friends—now you know why. I found out a day before recording last week’s show that she didn’t have a lot of time left.

This week’s show is dedicated to Chelle and you’ll hear a lot of her favorite music over the next two or so hours. R.I.P. Chelle—I love you.
