I'm familiar with the NPR Guide, and it seems comparable to most other
"guides" I have read.  I have two problems with this.  First, NPR has a
lot of nerve putting out any classical music guide, given the paucity of
classical music it delivers on the airwaves.  Second, there are dozens of
persons on this List alone who could easily develop a guide better than
most I've seen.
