I haven't heard that song.  Is it on YouTube?

"The real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight.  The real
problem is the misunderstanding and lack of education that exists.  If a
blind person has the proper training and opportunity, blindness can be
reduced to a mere physical nuisance."
-- Kenneth Jernigan (President, National Federation of the Blind,
1968-1986

Maryland say "I can," by empowering them through providing assistive
technology and scholarships to camps and conventions which help them be
equal with their sighted peers.  For more information about the Foundation

Peter:

You're dissing one of my favorite songs! "Grandma Got run Over .." beats the
heck out of "angels We Have Heard on High ...".  I will admit, however, that
"It's Christmas At Ground Zero" is better than either.  <g

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.

Hi, everyone.

To the extent that the blind satisfy the stereotype of radio junkies, the
following question is blindness-related - barely.

I, at least, *am* a news junkie.  I have all the "All-news" radio 
stations
of
which I know programmed into ooTunes on my iPhone.  These are the 
various
CBS
radio all-news stations, WTOP in Washington, D.C.  and KOMO in 
Seattle.

My question: does anyone know of other strictly all-news stations 
in the
United States? "News-talk" stations don't count in my book as 
also the
various NPR stations don't count - great as they are.  The CBS 
stations are:

WBBM, WBZ, WCBS, KYW, KNX, KCBS and WINS.  KFWB used to be 
all-news but has
gone news-talk since CBS owns it as well as KNX (KFWB used to be 
a
Westinghouse station when that corporation owned radio stations).

Any help or other strictly all-news stations are appreciated.

Oh yes - I know of CKWX and CFTR; dunno whether there are other 
Rogers
stations in Canada that are all-news.

Now I'll go away and return you to your regularly-scheduled 
blindness
discussions.
