Songs & Artists NEVER HEARD on the RADIO?

The dearth of radio stations that employ "disc jockeys" has spawned a whole generation of listeners who never hear their favourite songs and artists broadcast. In the "old days" every city had an avant garde FM station that would play all sorts of songs form a wide range of musicians.

I NEVER hear...Tanita Tikaram "Lovers in the City"...Emmylou Harris "Bang the Drum Slowly"...Daniel Langlois "Acadie"...or Eva Cassidy "Songbird", and so many others. Even the "oldies" stations don't venture far from the "top 100 Hits" list. Sad.

My 310E Scott tuner is getting sick of it!

What precious tracks have you NOT heard on the radio?

Well, I listen almost exclusively to "Listener Supported" radio stations. Some are college stations, some not. I hear a lot of great music. I've heard ALL of the artist you mentioned on WNKU (Northern Kentucky University). We have 3 good public radio stations here in Cincinnati and regionally, a good station in Columbus, Oh and Lexington/Georgetown, Ky. If you like the "Singer/Songwriter" genre, it's probably public radio or nothing.

BTW, WNKU also supports these artist Live shows in the Cincinnati Area. Support your local "listener supported" station and the artist by going to the Live show. It's win-win!

Enjoy,
