What would happen if Kevin Amos suddenly dissapeared from the music scene?
I know...I know. Some of you are saying good riddence.
But what would it be like if I suddenly just went "underground". Away from the radio, away from writing articles, awyay from the music scene period. Afterall...I've been on the air for 31 years.
I'm dying to hear or see what folks have to say.

Kevin Amos speaks out on "Black Radio" in Pittsburgh
Folks ...I am involved in print, broadcast and new media so I think I know a little bit. My radio involvement spans over 30 years. It does't make any difference where I have worked. I know the industry and how things work.
I have never been a favorite of the so-called Black media mainstream in case some of you really want to know or the White media either.
For a few months now people have been asking me what the solution should be in replacing WAMO as a so-called Black radio entity but I have k… Continue

Is Jazz Dying?
By TERRY TEACHOUT
New York
In 1987, Congress passed a joint resolution declaring jazz to be “a rare and valuable national treasure.” Nowadays the music of Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker and Miles Davis is taught in public schools, heard on TV commercials and performed at prestigious venues such as New York’s Lincoln Center, which even runs its own nightclub, Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola.
Here’s the catch: Nobody’s listening.
