Ahhhh my home town of Boston does have great radio... my other two faves are
WXPN in Philly (more rock-oriented, but a lot of stuff I like!) and WMNF in
Tampa. Both are community-based NPR affiliates with VERY strong listener
support. Both of these stations are also instrumental in PRODUCING concerts
all the time in their area, which is why their listener base is so loyal -
they're audience members at concerts too!
Off to Atlanta, then Kerrville myself... won't be able to check my e-mail for
a few weeks... love to all my cyber-pals.
