Leaving the Grandstand World
This podcast showcases the creative talents of Vic Zarley in which he shares original songs (many co-written with his wife, Eva), original poetry (suitably wrapped in selected instrumentals licensed Creative Commons with attribution) and prose from his many books published on Amazon (and as audio books on Audible.com).Leaving the Grandstand World is a choice to leave the stands where we're just observing and jumping onto the field where we can play and truly make a difference. This is his prayer for everyone who listens to this podcast!
