Sure don't! Say, didn't you leave the forum?

I see you deleted this message, why?

Because it was intentionally provocative, and I am sleepy and letting delirium get the better of me.

I think that when a new poster joins we should be polite, courteous, and inviting... at least until he has 100 posts under his belt!   An introductions thread is absolutely not the place to attack, undermine or otherwise be rude to a new poster IMHO.

I'm sure MI was just being "brutally honest".

Well, I think it's easy for you to take my posts as rude, but they are not. I'm simply asking the man some questions. Trying to get to a deeper level than by making comments like "Oh gee you host your own radio program? That's cool." He is, after all, the one who brought the subject of him being a radio host up anyway.

 As I mentioned in my intro I host a classical music show on the radio every Sunday afternoon starting at 1:04 pm Eastern time.  The online link is below.

Sounds like great fun to put a radio show together.  I imagine you will get a lot of ideas for interesting music to program from GMG. 

There's a thread for "Music Blogs" and "Personal Web pages" in the general discussion board where you might post a link to your show so we can find it easily.

Quite right: mine is programme of classical music for people who don't like classical music.  What I play is pretty well a reflection of what my audience likes, and after 28 years of doing it I think I've got it right.  My 20th century music I play at home.

It's definitely not for the more sophisticated audience which is why I paused before even posting my list in this forum.

Welcome. It sounds like a radio programme we used to have in the UK when I was  kid. It was called, ' Your 100 best tunes.' Had there been any cutting edge material there I have no doubt a lot of the very conservative audience would have protested. However, I heard a number of wonderful pieces there for the first time and I moved onto other music. No doubt many of your listeners find your long running programme would have been their springboard to wilder shores.

Welcome aboard.

Seems like it would be possible to sneak in some chronologically modern things that would still please the conservative crowd.

My thoughts exactly. Ears can be stretched...

[knight66]

I agree, Classic FM do it a lot here; but it is all very carefully filtered so as not to frighten the horses.

I'm not even thinking of ear stretching (yuk).  Just that not all 20th century music is thorny and atonal.  Some of it is just as pleasant, melodious and harmless as anything written by Mendelssohn.  Rangstrom or Petersen-Berger come to mind.  Maybe it would be fun to stick in one of those Schnittke pieces that starts out sounding like Vivaldi, then crashes into a tone cluster.      In any case, that playlist is hardly stacked with warhourses, and does include a number of things that I have never heard.

Not that literally!
