Radio and Music

Just not at the same time. It's been a while, hasn't it? You probably thought I had died. Actually, you probably didn't think about me at all. That's OK. I do enough of that for both of us. I might have mentioned (or might not, and I'm too lazy to look) that I work at WFLA radio in Tampa, and have since 2016, actually. I write and read newscasts on weekends, with the luxury of showing up in my gym clothes. I fill in during the week, which is where this behind-the-scenes look at me reading a newscast this week came from.



The schedule leaves me free for what I call my mid-life crisis of trying to make a go of making music, where I write and sing songs under the name John Allen James. Here's my song "Let Me Down Easy," which I figure came out OK, since if I play it without identifying it as one of mine, people will often ask who wrote it, surprised that it was me.



That song came from an album I released last year called "Fire Sky".
