[rollei_list] Re: WKHR: Keep the Music Alive

Tangents are approx 90 pct of why I keep this list rolling by....  (And isn't 
this whole thread a tangent?  Can there be a tangent to a tangent?  Math is 
hard!)

Good for you.  The point about WKHR is that they 
are NOT NPR and are not FOX and have no political 
agenda.  They do not do news.  They just do 
music.  Give us a break and let's not get off on 
another tangent.  I only ask our Rollei people to 
give a contribution to the only surviving public 
broadcasting station in the US.  WKHR is the 
background music for my existence, 24/7, they 
play Big Band and Swing.  This is a unique 
station and deserves to be preserved just as do 
British Buttner Pipe Reamers and Whitowrth 
Threads.  I have never before asked the Rollei 
Folks to contribute and I usually get offended 
when someone asks this Scottish-heritage soul to 
give, but, well, this is my home station, for the 
all of it, and they receive, unlike NPR, not one 
dime of gummit funding.  Just the music, ma'am, 
and nothing more, as Jack Webb would have said, 
back in the day.  Richard Knoppow can tell us all 
about Jack Webb and his various radio shows 
(there were three of them) and his various 
side-kicks (I believe there were three of them, 
though Richard understands the transition from 
the radio 'DRAGNET" to the TV "DRAGNET" much better than I do.

In the end, I simply ask you to give money to WKHR at <http://www.wkhr.org>

Be well, Rollei People!

Marc
