WNYW Good Day New York November 11, 2015

Service. I have a tribute to me lined up. First, to what we did last night, we went to al smith dinner. It is a tradition. Al smith, former governor of new york state. Rosanna his great grandson puts together the dinner every year. It is the movers and shakers. Greg last night former mayor bloomberg and he was funny. He had great material and making fun of bill deblasio. We have things cued up. Rosanna listen to the speeches. It is great to see mayor deblasio here, actually in new york city tonight. [laughter] to get him to show up the staff told him that the dinner was in iowa. My staff told me as well. To get him here on time, we told him the dinner started at noon. Great stuff. Rosanna how did the mayor tab take it . Greg i dont know. He got a chuckle or two out of it. Here is a little more. Let me also say, al, something to your better half, nan, congratulations on surviving 40 years of marriage to al. All though i have to warn you sitting between the governor and the mayor might feel like 40 years of marriage. Get it . Rosanna yes. Greg it is ice cold between the mayor and the governor for a while now. Rosanna you had a quote where he said something about finishing each others greg we have one more quote from the speech. Hit it. As you may know, i have always said that this country is not ready for a divorced jewish billionaire from new york city, but watching a divorced billionaire christian from new york city shooting up in the polls, i am reconsidering and tonight, tonight i have an announcement to make. And after deep deliberation and personal reflection, and after consulting with my family to get their approval i have decided to become a candidate for baptism. Just like sal on the road to demascus. Greg fabulous stuff. All right, despite what you read in the press, Governor Cuomo and mayor deblasio are close, a close couple, like cane and able, katy perry and taylor swift. Like the couples that finish each other sentences, they finish each others anonymous quotes. I saw them on a tandem bicycle having a ball, they had a difficulty turning left or far left. Rosanna we were there and saw each other in the hallway and walking into the ballroom there was a mic, there is not a mic we dont like. Pick up the mic, they killed it. Check.

That is mitch playing the guitar. Rosanna i didnt realize he actually wanted to be a musician before becoming a writer. Greg well, the writing turned out well. The 7th book is called. The magic strings. It has a sound track. I never heard of a novel having a sound track. That is a great idea. Mitch, welcome back to good day new york. Thank you. That makes perfect sense, it is a story of a musician. Yes, the greater guitar player to walk the earth and so gifted and suffered as a child and granted a magic guitar. When he changes a life with the playing, the string turns blue and disappears, and so over the course of the years, hes fictional, but Everything Else in the book is real. Hes with Duke Elington as a child and in elviss band, and Little Richard, going to woodstock and it is meant at a metaphor showing that our talents influence one another as they do, everyone has a talent. But meanwhile i had so much fun doing it and it has taken on a rosanna you talked to tony bennett and other musicians. Yes, over the years i have become friends with a lot of musicians and called them and can i write as you in the book and you come with the stories. A number of them, they all allowed me to use their voice and they remember a time when they found frankie when he was down and out and it turned bigger than that, they made videos and filmed and they told stories, burt was crying, i miss frankie, i mess him. But hes not reel. Rosanna we have the video, lets see it. Those are not elvis moves or james brown, they are frankies movies. Even if you took the guitar away he influences me. It sounds beautiful now and beautiful 50 years from now. He had magic fingers and magic strings. Never in a million years would i greg he speaks about a guy that is a figment of the imagination. Yes, music is an incredible language that it speaks on a whole different level and there are not many books that address it, not novels and they jumped it. And i do to. There is metaphors. In every band someone plays a lead and someone keeping the rhythm, life is like that. A family is a bond, everyone has a role in a family. I used music to say we all influence one another with the somebody wants to be a lead singer rather than the drummer, that is what life is. Beautiful. Rosanna so the music sound track is sold separately from the book . Yes, frankie becomes a big star and something bad happens to him and he dispeers and the songs that made him a hit, i had the real musicians making the them. So the sound track at everyone, to kiss, to Little Richard and they are doing all kinds of remakes of songs that never existed. Greg this is your 7th book. I think so. Tuesdaying with morrie. How old were you . 37. You started a little later than most writers. Yes, little scraps in the num. Tuesdays with morrie, morrie passed away 20 years ago last week and im still in many ways returning to the themes of that book, even in the book, we influence one another and affect the teachers that we have, he as a blind guitar teacher and hes an orphan in the book. That stems from the tuesdays with morrie experience. Im reliving the lessons 20 years later and the lessons are in the books that i write. Rosanna writing is a second choice of paying the bills . Yes. I came to new york to be a musician. I flopped. I played every little dive club. Which ones . Kennys cast aways. T bitter end . Is yes, you had to bring your own crowd. While i was here, i volunteered for the queens tribune. I worked for six months for free. I saw my name over some writing, something clicked with me, if writing. So to come to new york and going full circle on this and now having an album, sort of and a book about music. It is a part of weird thing in life if you live long enough it comes around. You can meet mitch. You are at the ridgewood womens club this is tonight. Rosanna at 7 00. Greg whats next for you, man . I do a lot of charity work. It is my dominant thing and going to haiti every month with then i return to detroit. Greg how are they doing after the earthquake. It has been six years. I go every month for 3, 4 days and work at the orphanage. It is getting better. Haiti and detroit, the two places in their own ways have back. I focus attention on that and work on another one. Rosanna beautiful. The magic strings of Frankie Presto out now. Greg we are capping the week. We have a fantastic week. Rosanna rosanna hemingway is here. Greg joining us and talking about important Mental Health why let someone else have all the fun . The sometimes haphazard, never boring fun. The why cant it smell like this all the time fun. The learning the virtue of sharing fun. Why let someone else have all the fun . Thats no fun. Unleash the power of dough. Rosanna we have breaking news, a house explosion elizabeth, new jersey. Greg what happened, jim . The cause is not known. This is a block off of route 1. The Fire Department activity is in the area. They are going back into the house. There is damage to the adjoining houses. The debris is all over the place. It is looking as if this house was cracked in half. The roof is split or the backside of the roof is sloping down to ground. On the front of the building, it is bloun off of it. As i mentioned there are two adjoining houses. There is damage to those houses as well. You can imagine, debris, lumber, siding, anything you can think of in a home is in the backyard as well as on the sidewalk and the street. Still waiting to get official word on injuries and extensive injuries, and the cause of this explosion not known at this time. There are no signs of a fire at this time. But no smoke coming out of the building. A number of firefighters are on the scene, fire trucks are parked up and done magnolia avenue. The cause of the explosion is under investigation. Greg, rosanna, back to you. Greg thank you, jim. Nine times out of ten it is gas related. Jim, thank you. In the meantime, muriel is joining us. She was born famous and then becoming famouser if that is a word. She was 17 years old here. And in star 80. Muriel hemingway, behind the scenes, struggled with depression. Rosanna she saw several family members dealing with depression. Shes being honored at the hope for Depression Research yesterday they would a big lunch. Muriel is here with the organizations founder, audrey, nice to have you here. Great to be here. Thank you so much, rosanna. Rosanna you have talked about depression before. Some people think so take a walk around the block and get over it, right. If you are really suffering with depression, it is debilitating and suicidal. I talk more about my family and their struggles with alcoholism and their depression, and yes, you know, telling somebody who suffers from deep depression to take a walk, wonderful to get outside, it is not a soul solution and we have to have compassion and open our hearts to understanding that depression is a medical illness and look at it. Hope is looking at it and doing she put together a Depression Task force. Which are amazing doctors coming together to work on the solutions for depression. Greg there are a number of Medications Research foundation . Amazing research. Prozac was 30 years ago. People, certain people need medication and need therapy also, but the Research Foundation is doing the most advanced research to find new medications. Rosanna are there new ones . They arent. We have found new genes and molecules and proteins involved in depression, it is a struggle to develop these things, there is not enough research and money three decades is a long time. It is fizz logical, right, it runs in the family. It is complex. The braen is complex. Our lives are complex, our histories are complex, so much about everything. When i speak about depression or any kind of Mental Illness, i talk about how incredibly important it is to look at every part of your life. Life style is important, my passion is really have people take responsibility for their own body, mind, spirit. Our heads are not disconnected from your body. How are you living your life. I bring that element into that with these doctors who are the doing the work of trying to discover what other kinds of medications. Not Everyone Needs medication and not everybody doesnt. It is very complicated. Brain. We need to really understand how Mental Illness is something that we have to Pay Attention to. One of the things, i want to take the i out of illness and put in we. Wellness. Rosanna you started the organization because of your
