Excellent point. I have learned _so_ much about jazz over the years
(with much more to learn), its amazing width and breadth, as well as a
whole bunch about how to be one with your listener (singular intended)
by listening to Eric/WGBH FM and on overnights. One snowy night last
winter, driving through downtown Boston on the way to Legals then a
show, WGBH (jazz) on the radio, it was a rare moment when radio put it
all together.
