It seems incredible that there was a time when good music on the radio or tv was a given, not much but there was something to counter the inane trash that even then was making such inroads iinto our musical lives. Now, garbage is passed off as art, celebrity has replaced artistry and uniformity has replaced individuality. I won't be purchasing this material I am sorry to say but I do not have acess to the equipment neccessary and I no longer collect anything. I appreciate, more than I can say, the chance to hear this old piece of history, even the sound system on this computer is sub par I can use my imagination to fil in any gaps and it comes out very lovely. Thank you again for this chance to remember something good from long ago. I am 81 years old and it was with much feeling that I listened to this program in the Voice of Firestone.
