Today's show is a bit different than normal! Tim Maratta takes over as host and sits across lifetime and high school friend Rob Talton. Rob shares with us his journey beating Cancer and how he battled a rare disease of the central nervous system, Neurosarcoidosis. Talton was privileged to encounter Johns Hopkins' Dr. Howard Philip Levy, M.D., Ph.D. on his health journey. Dr. Levy has worked alongside many notable doctors including Dr. Ben Carson. Levy was pivotal in Rob's recovery by putting hope at the forefront of his mindset. Doc wouldn't allow Talton to focus on survival percentages or any other news that would lend towards negative overthinking. Rob is not only in remission, but he is determined to make the latter half of his life more meaningful. He encourages us to be more grateful and present by not just living, but by being alive! Rob is a member of the Talton Brothers Band and writes music based on his personal experiences. Talton was blessed with the opportunity to play music at the popular music studio, Muscle Shoals, where icons including Aretha Franklin, Otis Redding, and the Rolling Stones produced music. There were many dark days in Rob's healing process, but he overcame to tell many exceptional stories. We get a glimpse of those stories right here on Write it Down! For more, sit back, relax, and get your pens ready!

Charlie Feldman recently retired as BMI’s Vice President of Creative in New York

Charlie joined BMI in 1988 and has supported and worked with countless songwriters during his career, including the Neville Brothers, James Brown, the Holland Brothers, Carole King, Chip Taylor, Greg Allman, Rihanna and Nile Rodgers, to name just a few. His many accomplishments include helping to establish BMI’s presence at  SXSW and Lollapalooza, and he was also BMI’s liaison with many of the industry’s most important organizations, serving as a trustee and past President of the New York Chapter of The Recording Academy and a board member of the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

Charlie began his career in the music industry as a songwriter with Muscle Shoals Music in the early 70’s.  He later served as the Vice President of EMI-Nashville before joining BMI. His professional memberships also include the Country Music Association (CMA), the Academy of Country Music, and the Nashville Songwriter’s Association (NSAI). And I need to add after having spent over 2 hours with him recording for this show, one of the nicest people you will ever meet.
