 If you're a regular listener to the show you know how much I treasure his music. It should be a very special show.

Finally upcoming shows will feature my tribute to the Animal Planet Channel, a special featuring the incredible and varied career of Lana Del Rey (a performer who needs no introduction) and in-studio appearance of musician & actor Big Jim Wheeler.

So warm up your ears because the future of Free Form Radio is here "Lost at Sea"!

I miss my radio station!!!

While we've been able to continue streaming past shows I miss not hearing new shows from my fellow DJs and I miss creating new shows myself for our listeners.

When we get back on the air our listeners will hear an energy and joy from us at Area24Radio like you can't believe. We are chomping at the bit. I have guests lined up and some great theme shows ready to go. When we get back it will be like a dam bursting with great sounds.

I'm such a radio geek and I'm proud of it. All my best to our listeners!

Lost just over the horizon

Allan Rosenberg

Check out this and next week's show, topic: Heaven & Hell

One of the pleasures of working in a free format radio station is you really can pursue interesting playlists with only the self imposed limits of good taste/common sense (if one has any?) limiting you.

With that in mind, I would be interested in your feeling on my latest shows with the theme of Heaven & Hell.

Did you enjoy the playlist of songs? Am I too conservative or liberal in my interpretation of the topic? Do any of the songs offend you? Do shows like this speak too or for you?

One of the great things about rock & roll has been it's ability to cover a multitude of topics. While this topic might be a little heavy for some, I feel the listeners of Area24radio look forward to being challenged every once in a while in their listening to music. Otherwise why would you be listening to us. Let's hear from you...

Be well, still lost at Sea
