LOL! Well, maybe TODAY's people will think that "HD" means "Hardly 
Different"? ;)

Hey, when I said "Elevator music" I was speaking literally. There were a LOT 
of "Beautiful Music" stations on FM back then! To a youngster (pre-teen into 
teen years) Classical wasn't much different (with only a few seconds of 
listening time) to the BM stations fare. Obviously, I know the difference, now. ;) 
That was then.

Oh, man... I know. Amazing, isn't it? There's an FM around here that sold for 
a few hundred K back in the early 80's. It's worth double-digit millions, 
now. (Consistently placing in the Top 3 Arbs may have something to do with that, 
too.)
