Earlier today (July 5) on the classical music radio station
in Little Rock, KLRE (a service of the University Of Arkansas
At Little Rock, and the University of Arkansas For Medical
Sciences), on the show "Classical Guitar Alive", they did a
piece that gave me a new appreciation for guitars.

"The Odessa Duet" (if I remember right), had 2 guitar
players, but they did "Rhapsody In Blue" by George Gershwin.
I had heard it done with just piano, or with piano and full
orchestra, but never with 2 guitars.

Needless to say, I was very impressed!!

Sounds interesting! In general I'm more the AC100 category, but add
another zero: I like variety and don't want to hear the same song over
and over and over again. Do want to hear favourites, but also explore
and so find new favourites. Friend of mine used to send e-mails with
Jukebox attachments: maybe ten or twelve different artists and styles of
music. About half of the selections were 'nice to hear again', most of
the remainder were OK (listen but nothing sparked). Then there were the
few which caused the "sit up in the chair and turn the volume up!"
reaction: yesss!!!

What is AC100? ..or, AC1000?

Sometimes a tune is VERY good, such as Sultans of Swing, that
it deserves repeat listens!

Here is a shortlist of "recently discovered and favourite"
tunes that I don't get tired of listening to over and over:

https://open.spotify.com/user/6mhrz90aernzucux1fjas12u9/ playlist/6j0WbPbq9kUPUPJUs7cXVW

A short list: 10 songs, at about 42 min.

[1] Fear of the Flame, Logan Staats.

[2] It All Comes Down to Love, Shawn Mullins

[3] Things That Go Bump In The Day, Rodney Crowell

[4] Anthem, Father John Misty

[5] Deadman, Logan Staats

[6] Ignorance Is The Enemy, Rodney Crowell

[7] Georgia Moon, Pierce Pettis

[8] When It Comes Down To It, Tasmin Archer

"AC" is 'Adult Contemporary'; '100' refers to the number of selections
in the playlist. The '1000' was a joke category as I do not like the
same music over and over and over. Yes I have my favourites but I don't
like to hear them constantly.

I'll agree. Years ago one of the local FM stations changed format --
and call signs. The format change was announced but I don't think the
call sign chnage was. Don't recall the timing but I think the original announcers and music programming were removed about a week before the
switch. What they did was play "Cool Change" by The Little River Band non-stop!! Nice song, but after the 487th play gets on one's nerves. <g> Reason for the song selection was the new call sign was KUUL (pronounced 'cool'),

Hey: pretty good! (Says me who can barely carry a tune in a bucket!)
Page protectors are a great idea -- guessing makes easier to flip the
sheet music pages.

Sort of always wanted to play the organ: my uncle and aunt had one which
I sort of played when visiting every few months. School, college, etc.
-- so much for free time!

Sounds like the station DJ thought it was "cool" to have
discovered such a song that mimicks the sound of the station
callsign - and have the band being domestic too. But yeah..
enuff can be enuff.

I'm rather enjoying my Spotify subscription. I pull complete
albums that might interest me and then play then locally

tunes a chance to be deemed repeat-worthy or not.

Right; almost felt sorry for announcer/disk jockey and chief engineer
having to listen to the same thing over and over and over again. Let's
see: 100 songs at 4 minutes each = 400 minutes, or almost 7 hours. Not
quite as bad as I initially thought. ...At least 7 doesn't go into 24
evely -- otherwise they're always starting their shift with the same
song!

...Years ago one of the local FM stations changed format --

enuff can be enuff.

Not sure there was a station-specific DJ during the change: I think the
station staff was terminated; maybe a few shuffled off to other
stations in the building (it's a complex of about 8 or 9 stations).

I'm rather enjoying my Spotify subscription. I pull complete
albums that might interest me and then play then locally
(offline) for several repeat listens randomized and give the
tunes a chance to be deemed repeat-worthy or not.

I have a Pandora account. Sometimes it gets a bit 'repeaty'. Not sure
how their grab-a-slection works as there are some selections I have
thumbs-up of which I haven't heard in seems like a year and others have
been off for months and then suddenly in the playlist.

My Pandora station probably defies logic! Rodney Crowell does play;
right now Dean Martin is crooning. Up next is Brian Setzer, then Nana Mouskouri, then the Doobie Brothers....

I'll admit to being kind of amazed at someone re-arranging/modifying a
tune -- "making it their own" seems to be the catch-phrase on the music competitions. Same basic song but totaally different.

Pandora seems to be a combination streaming *and* on-demand.
That's not bad.

For a streaming-like solution on my Spotify, the pre-configured

I use Linux so for the Pandora player I need to use Pithos; so far it
doesn't offer the on-demand options. Could access using Firefox
(browser) but that caused other problems: look something up on-line; done,close all windows? Oops!
