Let me start by saying that the foremost reason for this thread is not to promote a program or a radio station, but rather, the concern of a radio veteran whom I have not heard from for awhile.
Recently, I started carrying a music program on my Internet radio station hosted by a gentleman by the name of Jerry Gaule. Granted, I operate a talk station, but for what it's worth, I do run some music programming. This guy approached me on his own through Myspace, asked me to give the show a listen. I later added it to the schedule and downloaded new shows.
Then there were no updates. For awhile.
I'm starting to wonder if he is okay, or even alive.
It's approaching a month with no contact, and I thought I'd post this thread, in the hopes that someone in the broadcasting industry had any whereabouts, or at least shared my concern. He did mention on his Myspace page that he's an acquaintance of many fellow broadcasters, so hopefully someone can chime in.
The below statement is from his Myspace page...
"Hello.. My name is Jerry..I currently live in Albany Oregon (90 Miles south from Portland. I am a retired radio broadcaster (30 years) ... I enjoy life, cooking and music collecting.
