If you like listening to quality radio then Saturday is a delight. Andrew Ford (at left) presents the ABC's program The Music Show at 10 a.m. or 10 p.m. His knowledge, urbanity and wit cannot fail to entrance. On top of this there is a constant stream of visitors and personalities in the musicl field...and even if you are not terribly musical it's good listening.
His particular gift is to address almost every style of music in a non-judgmental way. I appreciate his sense of the fact that "popular" and "classical"music are complementary rather than in competition. I resonate with this and do not want to jettison Cat Empire or Oklahoma, simply because I love Rachmaninoff(he saved my life...another story) and Beethoven.
Just before The Music Show Alan...Saunders that is, presents the fascinating show at 9 a.m. The Comfort Zone, and then at 1.30 The Philosopher's Zone, truly versatile.
Of course on the other side there is great gardening from 8-10, a Vet...and so it goes on.
We are truly blessed.
