Special Preview of new SAFFIRE Album on 24th of January with DJ Jitar

On January 27th, SAFFIRE - The Uppity Blues Women will be releasing a new album entitled "Havin the Last Word."

Join me, DJ Jitar for a special sneak preview of the album on Saturday the 24th.

Sadly, this will be SAFFIRE's last album. After 25 years of being one of the most entertaining and successful accoustic blues groups, the girls have decided to go their seperate ways. (The group will be doing one last "farewell" tour beginning in March 2009 that will bring their sassy, bawdy live show to audiances across the USA.

Although Ann, Gaye and Andrea are far from ready to hang up their instruments: Each is planning to continue to perform (and hopefully record) as individual artists.

Grooving Hi-Tech!!

Well I am doing it. Listening to our live broadcast ... on my mobile telephone. Went and upgraded my old Blackberry to a "smartphone" Blackberry 8330 from Sprint. Now I can listen to OGR 24/7 anywhere I am. What are you guys waiting for? Checkout my Update in the Listen Mobile link on the menu.

On the weekend of the 16th (Next Weekend) I will not be on the air for my shows. I am currently on my annual IVAO World Tour Flight. (Greetings from CHINA! **waves a paw in chineese**)

You can track my flight in real-time on Google Earth by adding the following Network Link (Select ADD from the top menu of GE then "Network Link")

Everyone have a safe week! MEOW! (How do you say Meow in Chineese???)

Sometimes it's not just talk, talk, talk!

ArJohn here. I just wanted to take a minute to toot my own horn. Working at OGR, we are surrounded by talented, funny and skilled people. I would imagine many of you may realize we have musicians as well as professional radio personalities and unbelievably knowledgeable computer techs, that keep Our Generation Radio ticking, here at the station. Other than flapping my jaws, I usually don't fit into that bunch. Some of you may know that I am also an author and while I have only one work published so far, I hope to continue and make that number grow.
Late in 2008 I was contacted to add information to my (new to me) listing as an Illinois Author. I am now listed, through the Secretary of State as State Librarian, with such well know Authors from Illinois as; Edgar Rice Burroughs, William Jennings Bryan and many, many more. I received an email yesterday welcoming me and inviting me to add whatever information I may want and to make sure they keep my listing updated.

So as the Illinois Author, Rick Buda, I am honored. Visit
