In this episode, we dive into the story of Dennis Tufano, the unmistakable voice that brought The Buckinghams to the top of the charts during one of the most exciting eras in American pop and rock music.Dennis Tufano's journey began in Chicago, a city whose vibrant music scene gave rise to countless legends. Long before he was singing “Kind of a Drag” on national television, Dennis was fronting local Chicago bands like The Pulsations, performing in small clubs and perfecting the soulful vocal style that would soon make him famous. When The Pulsations won a TV talent contest and rebranded as The Buckinghams, everything changed—almost overnight.The Buckinghams burst onto the charts in 1967 with “Kind of a Drag,” a song that captured the hearts of fans and climbed straight to number one on the Billboard Hot 100. With Dennis Tufano's velvety voice leading the way, the band followed up with a string of unforgettable hits: “Don't You Care,” “Mercy, Mercy, Mercy,” “Susan,” and “Hey Baby (They're Playing Our Song).”At the height of their success, The Buckinghams were one of the most played American groups on radio, performing on The Ed Sullivan Show, American Bandstand, and countless other programs that defined 1960s pop culture. Their fusion of brass-driven rock and soul-infused pop set them apart from both their British contemporaries and the emerging psychedelic rock sound of the time.But Tufano's story didn't end when the hits stopped coming. After The Buckinghams disbanded, Dennis formed the duo Tufano & Giammarese with his former bandmate Carl Giammarese, recording several critically acclaimed albums in the 1970s. The duo showcased a more intimate, singer-songwriter vibe that highlighted Tufano's range and songwriting depth.From there, Dennis moved into solo work, writing and recording for film and television—most notably contributing the theme song to Grease 2. He also worked as a voice actor and composer, keeping his creative spirit alive in new ways.Today, Dennis Tufano remains a beloved performer on the classic rock and oldies circuit, delighting fans with heartfelt performances that revisit The Buckinghams' timeless hits while celebrating his own musical evolution. His live shows remind audiences why his voice was, and still is, one of the most distinctive in American pop music.In this episode, we talk about his early Chicago days, the meteoric rise of The Buckinghams, and how Dennis carved out a remarkable solo career that's still going strong decades later.If you're a fan of 1960s rock, Chicago music history, or the golden age of pop, this episode is a must-listen.

In this episode, we answer a listener's question, "How can I avoid merging with my mother?" Paula's mother had experienced an unjust situation, and Paula felt angry and protective on her mom's behalf. Listen in on the self-care and reframing tips Reiki Master Geneva Robins had for this situation.Recognize it comes from a Good place  -  You Care!If you see yourself in Paula's shoes and feel upset or angry about injustice in the world, know that feeling has a very positive core. You care! What an amazing place the world would be if everyone cared as much as you!Sometimes, simply noticing that the energy underneath the strong feeling of distress and anger is actually coming from a place of deep love can help reframe things. As soon as you notice what the core is, you can shift into that loving space.Create a gentle space to acknowledge your feelingsThe next step is to give yourself a space, a moment where you can step away from the situation. To temporarily pause the thinking that is creating the flood of emotion in your body and just give yourself a space to rest, ground, and come back to yourself.This can be very difficult to do when you're in a heightened state, but it is essential if you want to be of maximum service to the one you love.To do this, it's useful to pay attention to the physical sensations in the body. Gently notice areas of tension, of different temperatures, noticing if there are any muscles that are clenched, if your breathing is tight and not flowing. And then just gently working to create space around all the sensations and gently creating room with your breath and awareness into the simple sensations of distress and anger within the body. It's a heightened form of mindfulness. Even a few minutes of paying attention to your inner physiological state will begin to bring in a sense of calm. You might like the Releasing Anger Meditation as a tool to begin anchoring yourself back in the present moment. Come back to yourself and the present - Grounding and your AuraAnother powerful tool is grounding, which connects to the energy within the Earth and allows that nurturing energy to bring a sense of peace into your body. Try the Grounding Meditation to activate that wise Earth Energy.Noticing the energy around your body and bringing a bit of space between you and the situation is also deeply healing. Each person has their own energy bubble, the aura, and when the aura is strong, you feel clear and are better able to discern what is your feeling and what another person's feeling. The aura is so important if you are an empath or a highly sensitive person! It helps you avoid merging with another person's energy so you can be in a good place to help them.The good news is just imagining a calming and comforting energy in the aura will help you. When you are back in your bubble, it is much easier to hold space for your loved one or the difficult situation you are facing. It is the best place for you to see their strength and cheer on their empowerment.If this is difficult for you, you can also try a Reiki session. Reiki is a gentle way of grounding and reconnecting to the flow of energy, harmonizing you with a state of peace and calm so that you can get clarity on the situation. Try the Self-Healing Meditation to see how even 5 minutes can help.The Reiki Ideals can help you get perspectiveAnger is a normal emotion when a boundary is crossed, and you or your loved one is threatened. It's a survival emotion that helps us escape danger. The problem is when anger gets stuck and becomes chronic, it just ends up burning us up.In Reiki, we practice the Reiki ideals, which are five principles for leading a happy life. The Reiki ideals are: just for today, I will let go of anger, I will let go of worry, I will be grateful for my many blessings, I will do my spiritual work honestly, and I'll be kind to myself and others.When you're facing a big issue, it can be very helpful to come back to each of the Reiki ideals and allow their wisdom to guide you to a more restful frame of mind. When you're able to come back to that space of clarity, it's much easier to see what your best action will be. When we're in the grips of anger, it is very difficult to know what the best action is because we become erratic and explosive. We still need to feel and acknowledge that anger, but we need to put it to work for us in a way that will be constructive and productive to our ultimate goals. This can be difficult when it involves somebody we care about because we have anger but also vulnerability and maybe worry.

Laurie Huston from News for the Heart is talking with physicist Tom Campbell about Creating New Years Intentions. We like to discuss Intentions over Resolutions.This Year Tom added some great insight into what Intentions are. One of the biggest things is that You Care. If you don't care about the people of your Intentions or What you want to change about Yourself, it becomes much more difficult.Thinking about your Intentions once won't manifest what you want. You need to play with your Intentions several times a day. BE the Intention rather than doing behavior modification.Willpower alone isn't enough. If you haven't discovered the fears that are prohibiting what your Intentions are, then you are working against your Ego. And it isn't helping you Grow Up.Sometimes it also is about shifting your Perspective. Often we see things as an obligation, and miss the Opportunity to experience the Meditative qualities or the Love that is the reason you want to change. Instead of manipulating others and even ourselves.Let your New Year's Intentions come from your Heart. Another Powerful discussion with Tom Campbell! We're Getting to the Heart of what Matters!

Marriages that weather the storms of life are a rarity. When we throw in the demands of caring for a child with special needs, most marriages just don't make it.  We know as parents we need to invest in our spouse, but how do we do that when so much of our attention is devoted to our children with special needs? In Episode 70, we interviewed Todd and Kristin Evans on how they cultivate a healthy marriage.    Dr. Todd and Kristin Evans are award-winning authors, speakers, and parents of two children with complex needs.  Their new book, How to Build a Thriving Marriage as You Care for Children with Disabilities will release in May 2024 by Baker Books. Connect with Todd and Kristin and learn more about their ministry and free resources at www.DisabilityParenting.com.

Summary Navigate faith during the storm, with our daily devotional podcast episode. Weather life's challenges powered by spiritual strength. Introduction: Faith During the Storm Life is full of storms. They come in different forms - financial difficulties, health challenges, relationship struggles, and more. When we find ourselves in the midst of these storms, it's easy to feel overwhelmed and lose hope. However, as believers, we have a source of strength and peace that can carry us through any storm - our faith in Jesus. Faith During the Storm: Jesus, Don't You Care? In Mark 4:35-37, we read about a powerful storm that arose while Jesus and his disciples were crossing the Sea of Galilee. The waves were crashing into the boat, and the disciples were filled with fear. In the midst of their panic, they woke Jesus, who was sleeping peacefully, and said, “Teacher, don't you care that we're going to drown?” Jesus Demonstrates His Power Jesus, with complete authority, rebuked the wind and the waves, and said to his disciples, "Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?" In that moment, Jesus demonstrated his power over the storm and reminded his disciples that they could trust him, even in the most challenging circumstances. Faith During the Storm: Jesus is With Us During our Storms Just like the disciples, we may sometimes question whether Jesus cares about our storms. But the truth is, he is always with us, even when it seems like he is asleep. He is in control, and he invites us to have faith in him. Cultivating Faith During the Storm So how can we cultivate faith in the midst of life's storms? First, we need to immerse ourselves in God's Word. The more we read and meditate on the promises of God, the more our faith will grow. Second, we need to pray and seek God's guidance. When we bring our fears and concerns to him, he gives us peace and direction. Finally, we need to surround ourselves with a community of believers who can encourage and support us in our faith journey.

Pastor Robert Marshall, diving into Mark 4:38 with a message entitled, "Don't You Care?"

Carl Giammarese, one of the founding and still current members of The Buckinghams, sat down and visited with us. We've toured many summers with the Buckinghams and have gotten to know Carl very well. Even so it's such a pleasure to visit and hear things we still didn't know about and delve a little deeper. The Buckinghams rocked the '60's and beyond with a sound that ultimately would help blaze the path and open the doors for their fellow Chicago musicians trying to make it big, the group "Chicago". Hits like "Kind of a Drag", "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy", "Don't You Care?" and of course "Susan" cemented The Buckinghams as one of the top groups producing hits in the '60's. Enjoy the episode.

This week, Jesus calms the storm. A very interesting storm indeed.The Sermon for this episode is called "Don't You Care?" and can be found at pondergmc.org/ministries/sermonsNEW!: Rate us at Podchaser Find us at www.pondergmc.org.

This Yur-End Beck Did it Better has decided to celebrate the holiday spirit by complicating our listeners with the best podcast about Nine Inch Nails, and the 122nd greatest album of all time, The Downward Spiral.   But before we desecrate you we get an amazing voicemail about whether it's ok to play explicit lyrics in front of kids. We also become the best Christmas podcast when we talk about attending children's Christmas concerts, professional Christmas lights, and purchasing holiday inflatables with rebates. We also discuss personal intimacy in the champagne room, in futuristic vehicles, and at Walgreens next to the gingerbread village kits.   Then at (53:00) we discuss Nine Inch Nails' industrial rock album, The Downward Spiral. We talk about classical music's influence on Trent Reznor, leitmotifs, and the best songs where one person played all the instruments. We also discuss a hypothetical relationship between Trent Reznor and Dave Coulier, how to make a rusty nail cocktail, and whether Closer is the second sexiest song ever.    Next week the guys plan to ramble on about Moby Dick for 90 minutes when we become the best Led Zeppelin podcast and cover their second studio album, Led Zeppelin II. Also, we'd appreciate it if you'd share this episode with a friend. Hurry! Don't You Care!

When I was a junior product manager, just starting out, I had to learn to get consensus on projects before the company would sign off on them and before the team would start working on them. It was a two-stage process: Get sign-off from the higher-ups and get sign-off from the team that would be working on it. Here was the catch: Nobody worked for me. I had no authority over anyone at all, just a head on my shoulders, some data analysis and visualization skills, and a big mouth that wanted to tell people what to do. It didn't always work out. So, I had to learn… how do you influence people, change their opinions and their behaviors, when you don't have any place in the hierarchy and nothing to threaten them with? There's no hint of them losing their jobs if they disagree with you and that's a good thing! Can you imagine an immature person firing a project manager because he or she didn't get what they wanted? I can imagine it, but it's not a pretty picture. Anyway, I learned that it's really not too difficult to influence without authority. It comes down to you having showing three basic characteristics:1. You CARE about the person you're talking to and trying to persuade. 2. You CARE about your customers and the people you're trying to help.3. You CARE about the company you work for, their bottom line and their strategy.Let's get into what caring looks like in practice in this podcast episode.

Remember to Self Care when You Care!

Host Frances Hall of ACAPcommunity and co-host AJ Kerley of Pace @ Home, Hickory, NC welcome Mary Remmes, Caregiver Coach as they discuss “What's Fueling You as You Care for Your Aging Parent?” Caring for an aging parent or loved one can be extremely challenging. When we're a caregiver, we are consumed by our loved one's day-to-day needs and our stresses, and we rarely think about what may be “fueling” our actions. Understanding our motivations, goals, and emotions is critical in how we experience this phase of our lives. Developing awareness of how we choose to think about every situation we face with an aging loved one helps us recognize our strengths and helps provide us with coping tools we may not have realized we have.

In Mark 4, Jesus famously shows himself to be Lord of the Storm, but this is not merely a raw display of power. There's something bigger than the storm going on with his disciples: "Teacher, don't you care?!" Are you apathetic, Jesus? Do our lives not matter? He is actively cultivating something that was lacking in his followers: awe. The storm had their awe... but did Jesus? Without deep reverence and awe of Christ, he will never be a life-transforming joy to us. Without it, our faith will remain peripheral, merely conceptual, and even perfunctory. So how do we recover that awe and - with it - our joy? Let's talk about Jesus asleep in the boat. Discussion Questions That kid was talking to the biggest skateboarder of all time and he didn't know it! Have you ever been in the midst of greatness and didn't know it? In the recorded-video sermon, Pastor Russ gave some rationale why you can't take this miracle in Mark 4:35-41 as myth. Did you find his reasons compelling? Do you accept all of the Bible's miracles as historical events? None of these things happened? Some but not all of the miracles happened? Don't You Care? When have you wondered if God cared? Was your despair over His apparent absence or that He didn't care? Were you able to express that to Him, or did you wallow in isolated silence? Can you be honest with God about what you think of Him? Jesus led them into a storm. When has following Jesus taken you into scary territory? Have you ever been burned, short-changed, or suffered while following Jesus? Did that moment make you jaded or cynical? Where Is Your Faith? When we are under pressure, in the vice, or threatened, our insides come out – we get exposed. When has this happened to you? When you went through one of your most stressful moments in life, what came out of you? Talk about a time when you weathered a storm, and it made you closer to Jesus and stronger in your faith. What exactly happened that made you stronger in your faith? Who Is This? The disciples knew of storms, but they didn't know of the power with them there in the boat. Have you ever been overwhelmed by God, beyond anything you've ever experienced? When have you truly been in awe of God? When have you been covered and protected by God's ability and presence, even when you were facing something that threatened to destroy you or your way of life? Encourage someone in your group with your experience: What was it like for you to trust in a hard moment? Gospel: The wind and the waves crashed on Jesus so we could be protected. Jonah was saved from drowning and so were the disciples. Even though our faith is weak, God chooses not to squash us. Rather, He encourages our faith along.

This week, Rayna Neises, your host, talks with Dr. Aaron Blight.  Dr. Blight is the author of “When Caregiving Calls: Guidance as You Care for a Parent, Spouse, or Aging Relative.”  He is also the founder of a consulting firm dedicated to those who care for the aging population.  In addition to his professional knowledge and expertise, he draws from his firsthand experience as a family caregiver for his mother-in-law.  The following insights are shared:A transition to family caregiver can happen suddenly due to an accident or unexpected diagnosis. However, it can also happen gradually over time as you begin to perform more and more tasks and eventually realize that the relationship has changed.Although everyone has their own individual caregiver journey, there are common challenges and experiences that they all experience.Caregiving by its very nature is reactive, but there are things that you can do that will make the situation better and easier for both you and your loved one.Reflection questions can help the family caregiver to think about things that they would rather not and to apply examples from other's situations to their own journey.Two ways for family caregivers to get help:outsource tasks to provide needed respiteself-careBoth are important so that you can be your best self and be effective in the caregiving role.Participating in virtual family caregiver workshops can provide some anonymity and allow for some raw honesty to come through.We pay for competent care, but we yearn for people who are mindful of our humanity and who can provide compassion and empathy as well.

Dr. Aaron Blight has had a lifetime of caregiving experience. Both personal and professional. He took what he learned as a family caregiver and started a career in professional caregiving. His latest endeavor has taken him from the owner of a homecare business, to being the founder of Caregiving Kinetics, and author of When Caregiving Calls: Guidance as You Care for a Parent, Spouse, or Aging Relative. Why should you listen? Because there are over 53 MILLION Americans providing unpaid care for a family member. And 83% of those caregivers are experience MORE stress with the onset of Covid-19. And chances are very good that if you are not already a family caregiver, you're going to be. We had a great conversation today about: Some of the struggles family caregivers face Unanticipated rewards of being a family caregiver Suggestions for managing guilt/resentment family caregivers can feel What dying teaches you about living Why you should read his book Find Aaron on Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, Twitter Home Instead Senior Care Services, Visiting Angels
