[Blindtlk] [OT]All-News Radio Stations

[Peter Donahue]

Hello David and everyone,

You can't beat classical public radio for holiday music. It's wonderful to 
hear Handel's Messiah, Bach's Christmas Oratorio, and many more from 
Christmases gone by especially when traditional holiday music gets old and 
worn out. All the best.

Peter Donahue who is tired of Grandma getting Run Over by a Reindeer and 
Spike Jone's song about "The Devil in the Christmas Play." if you listen to 
the words you'll understand why I changed one word from an angel to a devil.

Personally I think public radio has it all over commercial radio for
news -- and I used to work as a news writer, for an all-news station,
at the start of my career, KQV in Pittsburgh, PA.  Don't know if they
are still doing news, doubt it, pretty expensive for a low-watt
AM.  Our public station carries the BBC World Service overnight,
which I very much enjoy.
