I started this radio
station, KBON 101.1FM, because I believed that there
needed to be a change in local broadcasting. I was fed up
with our local music & musicians being ignored, except
for an hour or two early in the morning or a few hours on
weekends. It was as though our local music & artists
were "not good enough" to be on the
"regular" daily music rotation.
Well, if there is one of
my (KBON) accomplishments that I am most proud of, it's the
fact that now, because of doing such a variety mix of music
and not "separating" the music as it had been for
way too many years, all the music is EQUAL on KBON; our
local musicians get the same spotlight as the national
artists!
When it comes to my
selection of songs to either have on the daily rotation or
on my "SATURDAY AFTERNOON LIVE" SHOW, I have
learned (the hard way) that there is no way I will ever be
able to please everyone, so I had to decide to stop trying.
From a musical standpoint,
in order to be happy with myself it is important for me to
express the artist side of me. In other words "For ME
to be happy I've got to be who I am, or I will only be
somebody I cannot be happy with".
It is important for people
to understand that one can be "LOUISIANA PROUD"
and still enjoy music other than Louisiana music or
Louisiana artists!!
Thanks for being a fan and
a friend!
