So, many years ago in another century, I worked at the college radio where I got my degree. And it happened to be the 1980s. I played a lot of the alternative music at the time, and I even ended up working at a dance club for a few years. Good times.

Later, a little website called Live365 came along, making it possible for people to program internet radio stations. So, I did an 80s music themed radio station for awhile, until around 2015, when I got sick, all sorts of things about licensing, and how internet radio was going to go went to congress, and the whole website got taken down for awhile. All the music I’d uploaded, cute little playlists for Halloween and Christmas New Wave music went down with the ship.

Until tonight. Live 365 rose from the ashes, and now is fee based with some ads, but it allows it to function again because it licenses it’s users now which is paid in the fee. I’d been toying around the idea of trying to get the 80s music internet radio station back up, but it was hard being sick and money was tight.

But finally, it all clicked tonight. They have an ads based option which will lower the cost if I run ads on the station, and I can use my already fabulous cloud music. My, times change. But I still love the 80s music I grew up with and played in college. And since I finished a story that takes place in the 80s, I thought I’d share my love for that decade with you.

It’s called the 80s Music Connection. Yes, similar to the name of this site. Just for 80s Music as opposed to Indie Authors. 😉 But it’s fabulous feeling back in my element again. The station is still in its infant stages. So, give it time. It will grow. I’ve got a basic playlist in rotation right now. Maybe it will bring back memories, or if you weren’t there for the 80s (Believe me, I know. The 50s music was big back then, because all the adults were reliving their youth. SO, I’ve seen this on the kid’s side of things already.)

Anyway, here you go. Click the link below, and a player through the website will pop up. I hope you enjoy it. Please let me know in the comments.
