Hi all, my name is Lenna Leprena. You have reached the official website for my Twitter rock station which is called Rock Station Lenna. It is just my Twitter stream on which I post YouTube songs mainly from the 60s 70s and 80s. The primary function of this site is to inform my followers about the history and operation of the station. I will also place rock music memorabilia and images of my favourite areas of the world on this site.Please note I have used artistic licence to put this together to protect my identity.

I started Rock Station Lenna in November 2015 as a hobby to keep myself occupied. I had a bad fall from aircraft stairs when working as a flight attendant 14 years ago and have been a disability pensioner ever since. I went to uni for 4 years during that time and gained an Arts Degree. That experience left me with a strong interest in politics. The rock station provides me with the perfect soap box from which I try to keep the bastards honest. Truth to power is good for democracy!

My brother set up a Twitter account for me in 2013 using the alias Lenna Leprena after I had a bad time with FBook using my real name and image. Lenna & Leprena were two trading vessels that worked out of Hobart in the old days, beautiful ketches. They were named after Aboriginal words for Home...spiritual and physical. He used images of a Thai actress model by the name of Araya Hargate as my avi. Araya and I look very similar. I decided to continue to use her images as there are so many online and no-one could possibly pirate them for mis-use. I occasionally use my own image but we are so alike very few realise when I do! Lenna Leprena is my accepted name by all and sundry on Twitter and Facebook now too.

I initially just used the Twitter stream as a political soap box. Then I started using my brother's YouTube selection to post songs on my Twitter stream.

Eventually it occurred to me that I could do that fulltime and run a radio station of sorts, to keep followers entertained beyond the politics and imagery that I post. My brother had 500 or so songs on his YouTube site, so I decided to go thru all the old online hit-lists for the 60s 70s and 80s that I could find to build it up more. I now have over 10,000 hits on my playlists altogether.

I also get songs from Rolling Stone Facebook page, suggestions from followers, suggestions from YouTube and from other places around the web. I also add songs from outside that era if I like them well enough. I want to stick to that era mainly tho as that appears to be my audience preference. The station, which is just my twitter stream, now has close to 3 million mention reach and 35,000 profile visits every month.
