Hi Russ - 

 Agree. How many people, not only radio buffs, strain thru bad interference 
to hear an engaging talk host, newsbreaking interview or cherished elusive 
song? Management would evince surprise then return to their poopsheets. Concur, 
management stuck on 90s gimmicks when people want what they always want - 
compellling programming.

  Isn't music a magnificent key to the human psyche? HD does nothing for it. 
One hazy afternoon this spring past, Radio Musical 590, Habana, aired Pagodes, 
et la Lune Descend, and other Debussy works. 590 busts in with beautiful 
analog signal. That particular afternoon no exception. 

 In twinkling of an eye it became 1974. Memories of hurtling down runways and 
backroads alike flooded back. Had taped 3 LP set of Walter Gieseking playing 
Debussy, found at college library. His music framed many an adventure. 
Gieseking's style defies description. Notes materialize devoid of percussive 
hammerings, say those who know him.

 Analog R. Musical is miles distant, uses forty year old Czech transmitters 
yet nonetheless rendered not merely Debussy but Gieseking clearly discernible. 
Poked around net, learned afficianados - not audiophools - created demand 
sufficient that CD's of Gieseking's 78 and LPs were released devoid of remixing - 
scratches and all included. Those knowledgeable state their minds' ear ably 
ignores noise and better appreciates underlying genius of the artists. 

What would HD do for this? Give Suite Bergamesque all the warmth of Yankee 
Doodle Dandy played on the Kazoo? 

As for losing kid audience, this is old myopia. Kids aren't kids for long, 
contrary to bleatings of the bubbas and their mind-blind 'soccer moms'.  We were 
kids as well. Here we are listening to compelling programs.

Where do they get these BigKorpseorate execs? What did they learn in school?

                                                                              
                                    z
