Shortened version of show, and behind the stage.

After 30 years 'chasing the dream' independent recording artist Chorney makes history using social media to leapfrog from 'virtually unknown' to 'Grammy nominated artist' in a category of legends. No manager, no publicist and no clue of 'what to do now' she just keeps challenging the system with instinct. Her 'what now' story? How to roll with the unexpected punches of success and keep singing. In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Celebrating 100 years of the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park, and what has become know as "Ladies Day", Linda Chorney had the honor to deliver our National Anthem. This was a life long dream of Linda's, as noted in an insert of her recent Grammy Nominated Album "Emotional Jukebox", on her checklist of things to do in life!

On Saturday, September 26th, 2015, a bronze statue was unvelied at Bridgewater State University. 2 years ago, Chorney made this song available for download to raise funds to erect this statue. It was her mission to forever capture the message of Martin Richard, "No More Hurting People". Victoria Guerina gifted her love and labor to complete this statue. And private contributions helped fund the materials. We are hoping art helps heal. In tribute to the memory of Martin Richard. Taken from this earth on April 15, 2013, at the age of eight.

What a drag it is getting old "Kids are different today," I hear ev'ry mother say Mother needs something today to calm her down And though she's not really ill There's a little yellow pill She goes running for the shelter of a mother's little helper And it helps her on her way, gets her through her busy day "Things are different today," I hear ev'ry mother say Cooking fresh food for a husband's just a drag So she buys an instant cake and she burns her frozen steak And goes running for the shelter of a mother's little helper And two help her on her way, get her through her busy day Doctor please, some more of these Outside the door, she took four more What a drag it is getting old "Men just aren't the same today" I hear ev'ry mother say They just don't appreciate that you get tired They're so hard to satisfy, You can tranquilize your mind So go running for the shelter of a mother's little helper And four help you through the night, help to minimize your plight Doctor please, some more of these Outside the door, she took four more What a drag it is getting old "Life's just much too hard today," I hear ev'ry mother say The pusuit of happiness just seems a bore And if you take more of those, you will get an overdose No more running for the shelter of a mother's little helper They just helped you on your way, through your busy dying day Songwriters: RICHARDS, KEITH / JAGGER, MICK
