Today I just had the last session of 2 months of radio/chemo therapy...it has been less than fun , but the important thing is I have a clean bill of health! Imagine my joy telling that to the wife and kids!

Matt: In the 60's I was stationed at Spangdahlem, Germany. I was in a band called The Cimmaron Cowboys. We did a lot of shows in France and I vividly recall driving down the long, long hill by radio Lux on our way into France. The three years prior to that, I was playing in bands in England and our favorite radio station was radio Lux. I've often wondered if it's still there and using the same format ??

I too got a green light yesterday on my
eye surgery and they scheduled the next one for July so I know a little bit how you feel. Stay well and keep us up to date.

Many thanks to you all for the nice words, & glad to know the eye surgery was successfulo Paul. Unfortunately the Luxembourg you remember has all but disappeared. The last english Radio Luxembourg show aired in 1985-since then its been the usual commercial Britney n'Stynk nonsense. Ive been here since 1979 (Im British) and I miss the old Lux even though its more convenient now (we have supermarkets etc)! But some of the old Djs are still around.
Cheers Matt

We've never met, but yet we are brothers. In Christ there are no boundries and nothing is too hard for God. My wife and I pray for more of God's blessings on your life, and many long, wonderful tomorrows.
