Echoes of Barbara Mandrell

A work of fiction

Appaloosa Radio offers “Echoes of Barbara Mandrel,” a poignant new audio drama that explores love, loss, and the power of memory.

Charles lives in the Oak Knoll Memory Care Facility, where his memory disease has robbed him of his memories, emotions, and personality. He exists  in a perpetual gray fog that makes him unresponsive to what is around him.

When Charles receives an experimental treatment to restore his lost memories, he’s suddenly transported back to his experiences performing with country legend Barbara Mandrell. Vivid recollections from decades past flood Charles’ mind, and fantasy and reality begin to blur. Believing Mandrell is in danger, he embarks on a quixotic quest to save her. Charles’ harrowing journey plays out over the infectious melodies of Mandrell’s classic hits, building to a bittersweet finale where Charles’ musical memories prove more powerful than death itself.
