In the past have enjoyed listening to the seasonal Christmas music your station provides. However in listening to your station this Christmas season I was very disappointed to hear firearms' commercials in between "Peace on Earth . . ." and "Rudolph . . . ", "Frosty the Snowman", "Silent Night" type songs. Is this an intentional juxtaposition ? I cannot imagine a young family listening to "White Christmas" immediately followed by a gun commercial that seems longer than the Christmas song previously played. I can just hear those young parents explaining to their children what a 347 Magnum is, or a semi-automatic is, etc. . In this day and age shame on you for putting the almighty dollar ahead of common sense and sensitivity to a listening audience who tunes in to your station in the spirit of the season. Gun commercial commercials don't belong there at this time. And don't go claiming First Amendment rights. You almost have a captured audience when you have children with their parents listening to songs that praise "peace" and "goodwill" and magic reindeer and snowmen, intermittently placed between gun commercials. Just please show some good judgement and sensitivity. I will not be listening to your station anymore, nor will my family, or extended family which includes over forty people until I hear that 92.9 has come to their senses. Merry Christmas and Peace on Earth to you and yours.

We are a veteran non profit called Pennsylvania Outdoor Veterans, and we are holding a craft fair and car show on October 19th in Lehighton at The Big CreekGrange.. I am hoping we can get the info aired for this event. We are reaching out to local radio stations. Everything we get goes towards veterans and their families. I myself am a veteran spouse. My husband served in the Army. If you can help in any way. We are hoping that we have stretched the word far enough that we are going to have cars from many areas. We are holding a childrens area and a Chinese auction. Thank you so much

Reviews for "The Abstract Soundscapes of Nas' "Black Nagic" Sample"
1. John - 2 stars - I found the sample used in Nas' "Black Magic" to be extremely repetitive and monotonous. It lacked any sort of musical complexity or depth, and it felt like I was listening to the same loop over and over again. The simplistic nature of the sample detracted from Nas' usually intricate and thought-provoking lyrics, making the overall song fall flat for me.
2. Sarah - 1 star - I really didn't enjoy the sample used in "Black Magic" by Nas. It felt lazy and uninspired, like the producer just grabbed the first thing they found and slapped it onto the track without putting much thought into it. The repetitive nature of the sample became annoying after a while, and it overshadowed Nas' vocals instead of complementing them. Overall, I was disappointed by this choice of sample and it took away from my enjoyment of the song.
3. Michael - 2.5 stars - The sample used in "Black Magic" by Nas didn't resonate with me. It felt generic and predictable, lacking any unique elements that would make it stand out from other samples used in hip-hop. I expected more creativity from Nas and his team, but instead, I was left with a forgettable and mediocre track. While Nas' lyrics were still engaging, the sample diminished their impact and made the overall song less memorable.
