This I agree with...  As much as I would love to hear radio stations play
a LOT more Ravel or Poulenc, both of whom I feel are just as tunefully
"pushable" as anything by Mozart (which I would personally love to hear
a lot LESS of on the radio)...  radio stations just *don't*.

But if new CM radio listeners do hear something on the medium that they do
connect with, even if it is *just* the most standard of the standard rep,
at least they've gotten their foot in the door.
