What would happen if Kevin Amos suddenly dissapeared from the music scene?

I know...I know. Some of you are saying good riddence.

I'm dying to hear or see what folks have to say.

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
