APRIL FOOLS! WHAT A JOKE!

Here's what I learned today ... April Fool's Day; http://www.rockandrollheaven.net/ - JST KLSX - is not my Radio Station ... it's yours.

I really didn't know what else I could do on April Fool's Day that would have gotten so much attention, and wasn't really ready for the amount of attention that we received today, when I mentioned that "'JST KLSX,' would cease broadcasting at midnight."

HOLY COW! I know that; from what I've heard, people were genuinely upset, and did not make the connection that it was an April Fool's Day prank. Not for ONE second did I believe that people really believed that we were going to 'GO OFF THE AIR!'

I know I did carry it on nearly all day, with little 'blurbs' of announcements and then ran off to hide, because I started getting e-mails and phone calls asking, "Are you Serious Mason?"

However, I was already committed to following through, and couldn't comment - and even though some of you were a little upset, you've got admit; THAT; IT WAS FUNNY! But, what you may not realize is; how much I was affected; by the response from each of you.

What is even funnier? The fact that the people like Bill Santo, Stevie Cre and Chris (Elf) were shocked when they first found out. No, contrary to the story I told ... it was not Chris' idea ... although I really did enjoy putting it off onto her. Yet, when I told her the previous night to test it out, I could hear the voice quiver as I let her stew for a moment - and when I said "April FOOLS" - she immediately said, "Oh YOU BASTARD ... I HATE YOU!"

But when she started laughing, I knew I had to do it. I think when I got the phone messages especially from 'Willie D' (Bill Santo) and 'Stevie Cre' (Steve Creaturo) I was laughing so hard ... that Coca Cola came spurting through my nose. I knew that: I had gotten them ... GOOD!

Comments from all of our supporters who called, commented, sent e-mails and were 'Upset' by the news ... I apologize. You all mean so very much to JST KLSX and to me as a person.

Far be it from me to cry WOLF, but I guess the sound of my voice on the radio really sold it - and it was just something that was all in the GOOD FUN of practical jokes - but it did leave me with a very warm feeling that; I know this RADIO STATION does mean as MUCH to YOU, THEM and the others who have been climbing and jumping on board ... as much as it means to me.

I am sorry for the practical joke --- but; not really, because it's made me feel ALIVE and that I am not wasting my time. I do realize now, there are people who really are caring for the things that we are doing, because it is and has become a piece of them. While it may have upset 'your,' ('their') balance ... just a little; know this: I will do what I can to keep from causing you any more distress. I thank you for the wonderful friendship that we are building, and promise that I WILL do as much as I can to keep it on the tracks and heading toward the promise land. This company - America's Coast to Coast Entertainment Network does mean a great deal to me, and it has been a struggle to get to this point. I still believe in greater things to come, and know that it's going to take a lot of work for the vision to come even more into focus. I'm ready to see it bigger than the greatest part of the cultural mainstream - because it is people like you, who are a greater part of the WHOLE.

If there was another thing I learned; we did reach a lot of people all across the country and a few in other countries. Thank you all very much for putting up with me, and my constant attempts to keep you amused and in touch with your music and emotions. "I Love YA! See ya on the RADIO ... and in the MOVIES, one day soon."
