We offer you this original submission to the KCRW 24 Hour Radio Race 2020 "Time Warp", with gratitude, for the opportunity!

After nearly three months of bickering while quarantining together, this mother-daughter team finds peace while making radio together about a person whom they both loved very much and eventually lost to Alzheimers disease. With original poetry by Minerva Lerner and original song by Edward Harris. Produced and edited by Sara Harris.

Hear in the City’s Sara Harris and Minerva Lerner delve into old audio recordings documenting the voice of Sara's father and the fluidity of time over 10 years living with -and through- Alzheimers in a multi-generational household. This, in honour of Edward Samuel Harris (02/18/1930-03/30/2018).

(Featuring Minerva Lerner, Sara Harris, Amanda Harris, Edward Harris, and the sounds of homes they have lived in.)

Installment #4: What if we all took a moment out of each day to think about and talk about and perhaps even thank- or decide to delete- the long list of contacts in our cellphone?

With the intention of creating a masterfully-crafted, self-contained, internally edited and smooth musing, this entry of MyEveryDayRadio documents nothing more than two dogs barking behind a fence and a homeless man searching for a plastic bag in the weeds on a hillside.
