P: There are two radio stations programmed into my car radio - WQED (all
classical, all day) and WDUQ (hot news and cool jazz). I drive an hour
and a half to work one way and unfortunately lose both of them about
three quarters of the way (then I have to play tapes). I absolutely
agree with you about the continuum.
I think my preference for these two types are based mainly on my love of
INSTRUMENTAL music - no words to try and decipher. (I can see the
dragons gathering for the flaming - any Pernese out there?)
