Although the show is carried here, I didn't hear that particular one, but I
wish I had. I agree that every occasion when CM is discussed in such public
fora is to be applauded, since it is evidence that this art form has not
completely disappeared from view among the more intelligent, aware part of
the population.

On the other hand, I can understand why some people might have strong
negative reactions to Prof. Drury. After all, this very list is a daily
proof of the fact that music arouses strong feelings! And thank goodness
for that. If we lost our enthusiasm for it, the music certainly would die.
