Thanks so much to listening to me live today on KGUP 106.5FM. In case you missed it, here is a copy of today's show.
The radio station went live on Thursday, April 12, 2012 and better than expected, we've already had over 6,000 listeners on KGUP 106.5FM. This is better than we had anticipated for the launch of a brand new radio station.
We are hoping to reach out to 1 million listeners by January 1, 2013, so please tell everyone about www.kgup1065.com You can also listen directly from our website on your iPhone, iPad, or Android phone, but if you have another mobile device, download the TuneIn from your mobile app store, then search for "KGUP 106.5FM" or "The Emerge Radio Networks," then save us as your Preset and listen to us 24/7.
Unlike a lot of radio stations that play anything that comes their way, we grade and rate each and every song, so the quality is better. The best part is you won't hear anything mainstream.

"The Life" by Romantic
'Reflextion" by Paper Anchors
"(Come Go with Me) Across the Universe" by MAGM Records

The Santa Monica, California based dance instructor/choreographer, known as The Dance Doctor, believes everyone has the ability to dance, and he and his team lead the way teaching others to trip the light fantastic. With a true appreciation for the arts, Cassese’s talents are diverse and varied. Not only is he a nationally recognized dance instructor who has trained such celebrities as Adam Sandler, U2’s The Edge, Elizabeth Hurley and Sir Ben Kingsley, he is an accomplished singer and entertainer. Involved in several facets of the arts including singing, entertaining, choreographing for film, stage, television, video and private parties, as well as producing and performing dance demonstrations, Cassese is a modern-day renaissance man. “Singing is always something I have focused on and has always been a big part of my life, but because I was dancing and teaching dance so regularly, I put my singing career on the back burner; though it was never, ever far from me. It has always been, and will always be, a great passion.” Here, for the first time ever, we are pleased to present John Cassese Music; a collection of John Cassese’s recordings, from cover songs to some very special original material.
