List?

[A Joseph Ross]

I'm in my 70s now, too.  I tend to listen to radio mostly in my car.  I 
listen to WCRB or WBUR and WGBH, depending on my mood.  I also listen to 
WATD.

In fact, last Saturday while I was driving home from visiting a friend 
(both of us are vaccinated and wore masks, except while eating), I was 
listening to WATD's Oldies show and enjoyed some of the oldies of my 
teen years.  I also heard some newer "oldies" that I didn't like as 
much.  But the best one was when they played a recording of Groucho Marx 
singing "I've Got a Little List" from Gilbert & Sullivan's /The 
Mikado/.  I was in 9th grade in 1960 when the Bell Telephone Hour 
televised /The Mikado/ with Groucho playing the Lord High Executioner.  
It was a welcome exotic oldie.

At home, I tend to listen a lot on my computer, to WATD on weekends, 
when they play oldies, and, for classical music either KUSC in Los 
Angeles or WSCS, a low-power FM at Lake Sunapee, NH.
