A Radio Dream
When Aleah Ryder was a 3rd grader at Windcrest Elementary, in San Antonio, she walked into the principal’s office and asked if she could do the morning announcements like a radio show. She was told, “No!” Aleah dreamed of one day, “being on the radio”, sitting across from me and having great fun, having listened to my show growing up. That was the story she told my wife, Linda who met her by chance, a few years ago. When Linda relayed Aleah’s childhood dream, I knew there was only one thing left to do! A few weeks later, Aleah, (now in her 30’s) fulfilled that dream, accepting our invitation to record at the SonnyRadio Studios. It was a real joy to transport Aleah from her past to the present. And, yes, it was great fun! Listen for yourself: https://sonnymelendrez.com/aleah-and-sonny.mp3
