Today’s Guest: Dr. Lee Stone, LCSW, PhD, has amassed over thirty years of experience in human services. Most recently, he served as Program Director and was quickly promoted to Executive Director of Freeport Pride, Inc./H.E.L.P. Services, Inc. He worked there for twelve years. The 501(c)3 organization was presented an award in 2019 by Nassau County, NY, for the exceptional services provided to the community. The organization had a unique approach in their substance use treatment, drug prevention, and youth services programs — music and performing arts were utilized as interventions. Dr. Lee’s interest in using music as an intervention began when he was a middle school student; he developed entertainment programs at a local senior citizen center that had a positive impact on the residents’ well-being. During high school, he created the “Underground” magazine—which included interviews with up-and-coming heavy metal/thrash metal artists and critical reviews of their music. As a student at SUNY Old Westbury College, he co-hosted a talk/music radio show that featured current events and social commentary. Dr. Lee has received awards and accolades in both music and social work. He is a two-time gold and platinum record award recipient for his music production work; he was also presented an award and given membership to LIU Post University’s Alpha Chi National College Honor Society for his service in the field of social work. Additionally, Dr. Lee was chosen as one of twelve PhD students in the United States to present his research at The Network for Social Work Management at Boston University. He has lectured for the students at Adelphi University, Hofstra University, Molloy College, and most recently, Lee was a guest panelist at The Kennedy Center’s Cultural Center. Dr. Lee’s future plans include the development of a human service nonprofit organization in partnership with his wife Tanya Dunbar-Stone, MSED, LMSW (Adelphi ’15), and providing consultation work for existing human service organizations that are interested in reinforcing their sustainability. Dr. Lee is also in the progress of completing music for his partnership known as Poeartistry—a performance art ensemble that combines poetry, visual arts, and theater as social emotional learning tools.

Photo by Darius Soodmand on Unsplash One of my favorite things about starting a podcast is deciding on the best theme music. If I'm being honest, it may actually be my favorite thing. When I imagine alternate lives, discovering background music for films or TV shows is pretty high up in my list of jobs I would want to have. For Beyond Artist's Block, I knew I wanted something fun but not cheesy. Uplifting but not over the top. Catchy but not cloying. I went to find royalty free music and surveyed my options. There were a LOT of "corporate" tunes and workout jams. I finally got my search fine-tuned to some combination of jazz and whimsy, and I found the appropriately titled song: Happy Jazz. Here's what its creator, Krazy-Dragon, has to say about it: "Calm, relaxing music symbolizing good mood, romance, tranquillity and peacefulness." Check it out and see if you agree: (I notice they have another song titled, Cooking Jazz, which I am also down with!)
P.S. It's been two days since I announced the creation of this podcast, and so far the response has been overwhelming, in a great way! We already have 8 interviews scheduled and almost two dozen more pending. We're looking at an October launch for the first full episodes, and I can't wait to share all of these awesome folks with you. If you think you'd be a good fit for the podcast and are interested in being interviewed, please feel free to contact us here. |
