No relation and not to worry about my "swing" comment. I like swing,
too. However, there are those who don't consider "swing" to be "jazz".
My reference meant, that to some, the station was wandering off the "jazz
track".
Kenny gives us G's a questionable name. Now, if he'd share the bucks,
maybe I'd sell my opinion to the highest bidder!
