Try listening to Chopin's Nocturnes and then be jarred by an ad for a car dealer. The columnist linked in this post is right, for the most part. But if there is to be a future for fine arts programming on conventional radio, it's going to have to be at the lower end of the dial; in other words, public radio. And even there, it's running neck-and-neck with news/talk formats.<BR/><BR/>Oy vey.David L Alexanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13871706129906941567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12897315.post-44179212767206002522007-06-27T21:12:00.000-05:002007-06-27T21:12:00.000-05:00It is too bad...we often listened to it in the car...It is too bad...we often listened to it in the car. For my part I just don't often listen to the radio. I liked WOKY about 15 years ago but hated the constant commercials.<BR/><BR/> While listening I would often write down the piece of music played so I could buy it. I will miss hearing new music (new to me anyway).<BR/><BR/>My kids really enjoyed the Baby Einstein DVDs, Bach, Mozart, Beethoven...They could identify the music on WFMR. It takes an ear though.xxxxxxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08568937298222307017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12897315.post-40172524895087779692007-06-27T13:19:00.000-05:002007-06-27T13:19:00.000-05:00Strini certainly does NOT paint his walls black w/...Strini certainly does NOT paint his walls black w/pentagrams.Dad29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08554276286736923821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12897315.post-43145704446263985102007-06-27T13:14:00.000-05:002007-06-27T13:14:00.000-05:00Ok; let's engage the argument at its lowest possib...Ok; let's engage the argument at its lowest possible level and grant Strini's cynical "wallpaper" claim for a moment, shall we? Even at that, the quality of the wallpaper was elegant, well-chosen, and appropriate to the room. Some people paint their walls black, paint pentagrams on them in fluorescent colors, and light the whole thing with black light. Aesthetic principles apply, even to wall covering. Strini should know better. Take the beauty wherever you can find it; God's there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
