[stylist] What comes first?...response to response

[James Canaday M.A. N6YR]

I really appreciate listening to my music, off of the internet so no 
commercials* at all!  and no announcing.  most often that means 
western, cowboy, music, but sometimes it ranges from Doo Wop to 
Zappa, or old jazz ballads.

I find the music seems to help me to "stay real" as  another 
generation would put it.  relaxing is helpful.

you can keep the heavy metal.
