Where Do We Go When We Die?

I believe in the ‘wisdom‘ of dreams, and based on a dream I had many years ago, I know the answer to “Where Do We Go When We Die?“

I’ve often wondered where heaven is or where is hell. These locations must be huge to take on so many souls. How can such locations exist? I think that one has to stop thinking about actual physical space, and instead think about internal space.

Think about the brain and all the memories that it houses. One can picture virtually anything: details of your life; the vastness of oceans; world historical events; even planets in outer space.

In my dream, I learned that those who are about to die or have just died, have one final dream in their present reality.  That final dream becomes their next reality.  The dreamer does not have a choice… the dream is preordained by God.  Pleasant dreams become a “pleasant” new reality – Nightmares become a “nightmare” reality.  Both become opportunities to continue the path to spiritual enlightenment.

So one’s conscious self lives on in a higher state of entropy, or the number of ways in which a system can be altered without changing its overall energy. Everything proceeds to a higher level of entropy (Second Law of Thermodynamics). Your energy lives in a new virtual reality. To you, it is real in every way! You do not reincarnate back to earth. You just live on in your new reality until once again you die, and have another ‘final’ dream. The process may be endless?

That’s it, that’s what happens when we die – at least in my dream. And no, I did not ingest any mind altering substances prior to sleeping.

It was just a dream… or was it?

On The Radio!

At the beginning of 2026, I decided that after decades of writing songs, I would make a real attempt at getting some ‘regular’ airplay on country radio.

I’d had one or two songs on the airwaves previously, but I wanted to get a few songs out there that would be played on a regular basis. Believe me, that is not an easy thing to do.

Major corporate country radio stations target mainstream artists, those who already have commercial success. I knew they’d never play my songs.

However, there are a lot of independent country or ‘indie’ stations that welcome local artists, and make it very easy to submit your songs for review.

I generated the following short station list (there are many more stations):

Most of these stations only want songs that have been recorded within the last year. That was a bit of a problem, as I’d only recorded “If There’s A Will, Then There’s A Way” within the last year.

So, I decided to re-record several of what I felt were my best songs. These new recordings would all be ‘2026 Versions’ of their original. The recordings needed to be the real deal – not demos, but done at a professional studio.

The following songs were re-recorded and re-released:

  • She Got The Ring (2026 Version)
  • Why’d You Go And Love Me Like That (2026 Version)
  • He’s A Legend (2026 Version)
  • In A Perfect World (2026 Version)
  • Red, White, & Blue (2026 Version)

I selected the first station listed – KICR – a very well respected and syndicated indie country station. It plays not only in the USA, but also in 16 international countries as well.

I followed the submission guidelines listed on their website, and submitted “She Got The Ring (2026 Version)” to The Tim Kelly Show.

A few days later, I received a email back from Tim Mazur, also known as Tim Kelly (his broadcasting name).

He said that he liked the song, and would play it on his New Music Friday show. I figured if he liked that song, I’d send a few more – five more to be exact.

Well, he liked all of them and said he’d play all on his shows. YEE HAW. Thank you Tim!

On Friday, September 25, 2026, “In A Perfect World” by The Ridge Riders (my band) was played. Totally Awesome!

Well, that is the first one and hopefully KICR will play all of them many times over.

So tune into ‘kicrindiecountryradio.com‘ to listen to some great indie country music, by lots of great independent artists.

For now, I’m…
