Fairbanks WKLB/WCLB & WCRB

[A Joseph Ross]

I don't know what elitist means.  I was one of those who complained, I

listeners had made it clear that they wanted more complete symphonies, 
and they had complied.  They may not have stopped using isolated 
movements altogether, but they did cut it back.
