ADA Member Audio Challenge (AMAC): Audio shorts produced by our members
The AMAC is a periodic challenge for our members to produce a short audio piece, no longer than 5 minutes, around a specific theme, in 30 days. There are original songs, instrumental compositions, narrated stories, and fully-produced audio dramas. Some of the projects were subsequently expanded, but all of them originated as entries in the group challenge.

Title: Appalachian Tales: Bonnie Kate
Theme: Spring

I hope you enjoy a taste of local Tennessee History!

Title: New Life (Could it be Spring?)
Theme: Spring
Description: I decided to approach the subject of spring along the lines of new life, and the idea of having a chance to restart. As we age we have regrets or life becomes mundane and I was thinking about this idea with this song. There are elements based on real life for me, including the photo in the lyric video which I took at the mountain I was referring to in the song.

Title: Reflection: this world from another
Theme: Reflection
Description: When I was thinking about the prompt, "Reflection", two things immediately popped into my mind and refused to leave. #1: a passage from C.S. Lewis' "The Last Battle", and #2: some conversations I have had with my own family about life in Heaven versus on Earth. I combined the two to create this short clip that might very easily be my little sister and me talking at night, instead of a nurse and patient, trying to stay true to our conversations in real life.
