Still, you Boston people have no idea what it's like to have literally nothing, ever, apart from the odd bit included by happenstance on the 1 ridiculous station that's available. The 1 station I get here has NO IDEA WHATSOEVER they are playing. They speak of everything on +/- equal terms, giving history and anecdotes as though one tune is as important as the next, according to what is written. Ironically, if my Spanish is no worse than I think it is (station boadcasts from Mexico!), they really believe they are holding down the Cultural Fort! And maybe they ARE!!!
But this end-of-the-classical-FM-world thing has been progressing inexorably for many years. There's been nothing worth mentioning wherever I've happened to live for most of my life, now.
Meanwhile, I've listened to all my records worth listening to so many times that I am hard to surprise anymore.
I think one reason for hi-fi is just to be able to keep mining the same material!
My next gambit will be to force myself to listen to "new" music until I get it, just to add to my material base.
No New Program?
Screw hi-fi!
