A tremendous amount of effort has been put forth, when it comes to 'getting through' to people while 'connecting' to people in the 'World' about a 'Concept' for a 'Targeted Audience' that is really as evolving ... as the 'People' in this LIFE itself! Of course I'm talking about 'OUR' radio, JST KLSX, its music and all of the things surrounding that music and radio ... since we've been ... here on the planet ... with the 'People.'I hope that sort of 'Sums' it up, because in my mind; it is that simple! The simplicity is that 'Baby Boomers' from 1946 thru 1964 are the audience members who are traversing the 'Timeline' of Music in LIFE that does and has 'documented' their memories ... in all of the Hugh Montenegro qualities in this LIFE ... the "GOOD, the BAD and the UGLY!"
I'm speaking of course about radio broadcasting first and foremost, but also I am including all of the things surrounding that industry, which connect ... not only the listener on a music level, but on a 'Plain of Existence' that encompasses 'their' lives in every aspect of 'their' lives, including; connecting with the likes of 'The Individual.' How? It is the movies, sports, news and entertainment of other people which is compounded with every other person in this LIFE because it is the 'people' who find that 'Connectedness' in those other people who are living on the planet through radio, television, movies or even here on the 'Blog' much less being connected through the new 'Social Networking' sites popping up everywhere!
It is this very 'Philosophical Ideal' that keeps me moving, especially when I run into 'Individuals' like Julie Gebauer from Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin. It was Julie who sent me an e-mail saying, "Mason, do you mind if I write to SIRIUS / XM Satellite about you and your programming?"
"Why no, I don't mind," because I do want to "Get to where I'm going with this Format" and it was with that, that Julie began 'her' 'Grass Roots' movement with SIRIUS / XM Satellite who responded to 'her' constant letters to get someone to notice 'Mason Ramsey's JST KLSX - America's Coast to Coast Entertainment Network. Is it possible to get some notice by a company that is partitioned into more than two hundred channels for listeners? What a great idea! And it worked ... but, can we see it come into existence? I say it can, once we get that 'Someone' to grasp that same 'feeling' that Julie and others have gotten from their 'Desire to listen' and to see it become that 'New Format for the Future.'
Although Julie subscribes to SIRIUS / XM Satellite, she has been tuning in and listening to JST KLSX and 'Music for the Ages!' What a great testament it is when you have someone writing on your behalf and actually getting a response from one of the largest music providers in the world, who are asking for 'Samples' of Mason Ramsey's JST KLSX.
You see, it's people just like Julie who I believe can pick up on the feeling that; she can sense 'There is someone who really enjoys being on the radio' while at the same time recognizing the 'Quality and Versatility' of not only the Music, but the 'feeling' that it leaves with her.I don't want to seem as if I'm 'stuck in the past' - but, I have to say' "It has been a tale beginning before 2004, but really from the inception long ago from a 'Concept' of music and entertainment from a career beginning in 1974, that makes all the sense in the world today; especially when it comes to the entertainment world."
You see, I want to be 'Doin' My Thang on the radio' so to speak --- almost kind of like the 'Pleasure Thang' - because ... it just feels 'Good!' There is nothing like it in the world, when you're able to have people tuning into a five hour program, playing music, talking to the people and 'putting all of the pieces' together. When it's done right: "It's Magic! And, it's what gives me the goose bumps!"
But here's the problem; "We're living in a world that is partitioning and micro-managing every segment of our lives in controlling, what we see, hear and feel.' The time has come for someone to offer something that allows you and I to experience our lives from the past, present and the future, without having to lose the most important factor ... the 'Human Connection.'
Feeling that we are 'All Connected' and have been 'connecting' through the course of 'Time' ... has given all of us a chance to meet wonderful people along the way on this journey, which brings me to where I am today; pushing a 'Concept' that I've grown to believe is 'Going to Work' because there are too many people who agree, saying to themselves ... "I am so looking for a radio station that can take me through LIFE" without having to constantly 'Keep Searching for the bit's and pieces' through a broad spectrum, that is really so very narrow.' I have seen the 'Concept' work before, and there's no reason that it cannot work in today's world. What's really changed? TIME!
Here's what I think is the 'Irony' of the 'Concept' ... I believe to be unfolding: Little Layla, who is four years old says; "Uncle Mason, they Call this the old stuff? Well it's new to me and I like it!"
Think of that for one second. Even as I was 'Born in the Fifties' - the 'Abbott & Costello' movies, Benny Goodman and the entertainment before 1956 was 'New to Me too!' And it's still 'New to Me' as it 'Still is Unfolding' from the Past to the Present. That thought, sort of makes me feel like I am Marlon Brando in 'Apocalypse Now' rubbing his forehead uttering; "It was like a shot, a diamond - Lightening Bolt striking me ... right between the eyes." (paraphrasing) The Classic Roots of Rock and Roll, Country, Easy Listening, Big Band or music and entertainment in GENERAL takes on a 'New Feeling' when there is a 'Blend of Music' from the 'Past to the Present' - but, it will take people with that 'Desire' to 'See it all come to fruition.' And so ... it's that 'Faith' in knowing "This is happening for a greater purpose, and I'm just doing my part to see it work."
Now if we can move toward the 'Concept' of having those like minded 'Radio Personalities' who can help 'Make the Connection' with listeners 'All Across the Country' SIRIUS / XM Satellite radio --- there remains "'No Doubt in my Mind' that it would be the 'Biggest Thing' in not just the United States, but the World.'"
I can envision 'Music for the Ages" as one of the 'Music Channels' as JST KLSX on SIRIUS / XM Satellite or on 'Affiliate Radio Stations' across the country, but I know it does take planning, organizing and people to 'Make it Happen' and those are the people who believe ... or "I'm living a very 'Constructive Fantasy!'If you would like to contact Julie Gebauer, she says: "I'm going to make it my mission!" Julie's e-mail is: gebauer@charter.net who will be more than happy to help add your voice to our growing 'Concept' of 'Music for the Ages!' on a radio dial, radio station, phone, car or computer 'where ever you are in the world.'
