Just an ironic observation, but the Public Radio station in humble
Sacramento, Ca, is way better than the commercial CM station in the
cultural mecca of all cultural meccas--San Francisco.  The programming
variety of the SF station is appalling, rarely venturing beyond Bach,
all his sons, Haydn, and Vivaldi.  (Well, Offendbach, too)

The programming variety that NPR offers in Sacramento is not exactly
all-inclusive, but at least they are daring enough to play something,
say as raucous as Bartok's "Miraculous Mandarin" before noon.

And in Sacramento, a guy can't even find a decent place to get his hair
done....
