Jonathan L

Jonathan L died last week in Germany. As you know his show “The Lopsided World of L” was heard here every Monday for years. (You can find them all in the “search bar”.)

New music was his life and he exposed so many artists from around the world on his show. His was a labour of love. He received no compensation but rather lived for the music and for the artists who inspired him.

As a friend and colleague, he was inspirational. His passion was his life. May we all live so sumptuously.
