So Long George

It is with a heavy heart I announce that George Woods, of Radio George, passed away last weekend. He suffered a massive heart attack while in San Antonio on the trip back to Kansas City. It has been a shocker for all of us, not to mention his wife and family.

With this news, I'm not sure of the future of The Neon Beat as it pertains to being aired on the internet for awhile. George was the soul owner and administrator of Radio George. It was his creation. George was a pioneer in the development of a professional internet music service that had the potential to actually turn a profit. He was well regarded and known throughout the broadcast industry. As it stands, you will probably be able to hear The Neon Beat, and Radio George's other tasty offerings of the great oldies on his site for a few more weeks.

Today, I only know I have lost a great friend and mentor. I ask that you'd pray for Nancy and the family at this difficult time.

Meantime, TFN, here is a list of radio stations over which the Neon Beat is aired on the weekends. I'm pretty sure most of them stream their programming. You should be able to obtain program scheduling through their websites.

KCXL Kansas City (Liberty), Missouri, KPGZ Kearney, Mo, KVOE Emporia, Kansas, KSGL Wichita, Kns, KNDY Marysville, Kns, KDNS Dennison, Iowa, KRES Moberly, Mo, KYCN Wheatland, Wyoming, KGFW Kearney, Nebraska, KNDC Hettinger, North Dakota, and KTLO Mountain View, Arkansas.

Again, til the plug is pulled, enjoy the show at Radio George. http://www.radiogeorge.com/neonbeat/NB-Hour1.htm

Catch ya on the “B” side my good, good, friend.
