How many of us get a chance to start over or rise from ashes for a new beginning? Jeremy McMillan is enjoying that very experience with Palapa Mac Radio. What started as a hobby in 2011 is now a viable and growing internet radio station. We spoke recently about the station’s rebirth and about Jeremy’s enthusiasm for Trop Rock music.
