Welcome! We’re talking to Sally Ries-Wacht today. Sally is joining us because she is Seraphine’s friend and she has had a very interesting life. She used to be a singer for the R and B group, Oscar, and in today’s podcast, she talks about her life, her career, and what things have been like for her since her husband got diagnosed with FTD (Frontotemporal dementia). Seraphine and Sally met while she was teaching a barre class at a local health club. Seraphine loves music and curating playlists, and Sally was fascinated with her collection of songs. She particularly loves George Michael’s songs. Some of Sally’s background Sally came from Wisconsin to Kansas City, and she went to college at Mizzou for a year. After leaving Mizzou, she went to New York University for a few months, but she left after she got cast in an off-Broadway musical show. LOOM The first show Sally did was for a company called Light Opera of Manhattan (LOOM) when she was nineteen years old, and she got cast as a replacement for someone. Star Search Sally was on Star Search when she was about twenty-four, and she found Ed McMahon to be awesome! She won the first show and even though she felt she did a lot better in the second show, someone else won it. Oscar One of the girls in the group, Kia, invited Sally to join her when she was getting the group Oscar together. After a while, they got the opportunity to sing at the Apollo Theatre on a non-televised night. Sally was the only white girl in the group, and people were yelling and throwing things to get her off the stage. Getting signed by Epic Getting signed up by Epic was a lot of fun for Sally, and they did some shows with big acts like Boys To Men. A great song A great song is all about production. And a song can get done in many different ways if it’s a great song. Writing songs When she writes songs, Sally usually writes the melody first, and the lyrics come after that. How Oscar broke up The band was going to get resigned after their first single, which did okay but not brilliantly. Sally and some of the other girls were unhappy with the producers. So Sally decided not to do another record unless the girls in the band got more writing credit, they got to write more, and there was a better financial split between the band members and the production team. The producers refused their requests, so Sally decided to leave, and the rest of the band disbanded soon after that. Back-up singing After leaving the band, Sally went into back-up singing. She sang background with artists like Daryl Hall and Enya, and she had a lot of fun doing that. Sally’s relationship with Carlos Leon Sally had a relationship with Carlos Leon for about five years. He is the father of Madonna’s daughter, Lourdes. Adam Sally met Adam when she was about thirty-two. Adam was a producer, so they decided to work together, and eventually ended up getting married. Becoming a mother Sally had her first child when she was thirty-seven and her second child when she was forty-two. She stopped making music for a while after her children were born because she wanted to be there for them. Frontotemporal dementia When Adam was fifty-three, he got diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia. It started with subtle little things and got more and more intense as time went on. Confusion In the beginning, frontotemporal dementia and early-onset dementia have similar symptoms. Sally mostly remembers the confusion that her husband went through when he got diagnosed. His condition deteriorated pretty quickly, and it soon got to the point where he had to give up driving. Extremely hard It is hard for Sally to cope with her husband’s illness, and it tries every ounce of her patience. She describes his behavior as being similar to that of a toddler. He does strange things, but people are usually very gracious with what he does. It is also hard for Sally because his behavior changes all the time, it keeps on getting worse, and there is almost nothing that doctors can do to help. Sally’s daughters It was hard for Sally to explain to her daughters what was going on with their dad and no rule book exists that could help her. She consoles them but she has never hidden anything from them. The disease progressed Adam’s disease finally progressed to the point where Sally could no longer take care of Adam. So she decided to put him into a home. Support Care-giving is tough, and Sally truly appreciates her friends showing up with support and understanding for what she is going through. Letting go of her guilt and realizing that she did not cause her husband’s illness has helped her to move on with her life. Links and resources: Sally on Instagram - Sally Ries-Wacht
In this Magnificent Mujer interview with Enrique Morones we are reintroduced to Linda Ronstadt, a woman who is a “Soldadera”, a vocalist, musical cultural, activist soldier, in her own right. She did what they said couldn’t be done. Her vision and her capacity to imagine and hear a sound in her head that others couldn’t propelled her where no woman had gone before; becoming a multi platinum recording artist in English, and becoming an icon in the Spanish language music world with the highest selling Spanish language album of all time. The esteemed position that she holds as one of the most influential and prolific vocalists, recording artists, and popular cultural ambassadors of the last century came through hard work, perseverance, determination, and a great sense of pride and vision as to what a Mexican American woman could create. She has inspired many female artists after her across the genres of Rock, Country, Mariachi, New Wave, Jazz, Light Opera, and Musical Theatre among others to cross boundaries of what is possible to achieve in a career. Linda followed her heart, and her bliss, and nothing was off limits. Today Linda is experiencing physical limitations due to the progressive effects of living with Parkinson’s disease. As you will experience in this interview, Linda’s inability to sing today has not affected her ability to awe her admirers with her sense of gratitude, humor and tenacity to keep acting to effect change and awareness by any means necessary. As she continues to speak out and be an advocate for those who today have been silenced or limited as refugees, asylum seekers, migrants or due to their language or age barriers she asks us to open our hearts. Please share this episode with your loved ones, especially our future generations and introduce them to an account of this inspiring path. Be aware, as Linda reminds us now that we have so much more music to make as a nation and as a world. How amazing it would be if we, like Linda, looked at life as an opportunity to co-create new sounds from those of our families and ancestors and our new neighbors without borders. "It's really important that people be a student of history, ...know whose shoulders you are standing on, each generation, it only takes a generation to forget, what Dolores Huerta and Cesar Chavez did for the Farm Workers cannot be forgotten and already there are kids that are 15 years old that don’t know this history.” - Linda Ronstadt in a 2013 interview with CreatTV San Jose, where she and Dolores Huerta spoke on activist women, for the upcoming Tucson Mariachi and Mexican Cultural Festival, which Ronstadt helped produce. The theme of that festival was the “Soldaderas”, the female soldiers of the Mexican Revolution The 2013 Tucson. Mariachi and Mexican Cultural Festival celebrated the 100 year anniversary of the Mexican Revolution (1910-1920) by celebrating the contributions of the “Soldaderas”. The women who fought alongside the men, were responsible for cooking, preparing the camps, but also fighting on the frontlines alongside the men if their husbands were killed or injured. In 2013 Linda Ronstadt published, “Simple Dreams: A Musical Memoir”, where she chronologized her unique and uncharted path through the annals of recording and performing history with a career that spanned over four decades and earned her 10 top-10 singles and over 30 studio albums. “Simple Dreams”, which she wrote completely on her own, and was very difficult work, for a woman who respects the written word immensely and had set the bar high for her own debut as an author, became a New York Times Bestseller. Her selfcrafted narrative of a woman’s journey through a male dominated music industry, and her own self charted path inspired producers James Keach and Michele Farinola and directors Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman to pursue her tirelessly to make a documentary, released in late 2019 titled,...
