I would agree it can be repetitious, if you stay on the same "channel". I guess I didn't think of that right off because I have 6 "channels" that I flip through- Basia, General Jazz, Latin, Trance, Ambient, Blues and Rock. I mix it up myself. I teach adult technical classes, and I was just conversing with some of my students about jazz stations in Atlanta going away. Apparently there are new taxes on each song a radio station plays and it's driving the smaller stations out of the market. A quick Google search seems to confirm this, but I don't know any details. - -Sam On Thu, May 21, 2009 at 7:18 AM, John Flood wrote: > > Pandora is repetitious as hell if you listen to it daily.

Also an invitation was mentioned so that Basia with the band performs in the Agnieszka Osiecka Recording Studio in Polish Radio 3. She said that when they gether the band, if they are still invited they would love to perform there. The interview was almost 50/50 in PL/EN (so if you can listen to other programs I guess you would not feel totally lost, only hearing Polish :-)) - I will send a separate e-mails with programs and links to listen live).
