Detroit can add me (newly relocated here after 5 years) to the many fans who long for and miss the excellent music of WDET (public radio which is now 95% news). It was a shock to move back to my home town and discover such an essential part of my life gone.
I found a CD created in the studios of DET during live performances of Los Lobos, Patty Larkin, Janis Ian, Bruce Cockburn, Shawn Colvin, etc. It's my one link to the past. I've lost hundreds of CDs during my many moves during the past 10 years. My music library is incredible lean and out of date. Which are actually 2 separate problems. I think I've been on another planet for several years. But somehow my lost music didn't seem like much of a problem until I moved back home. The gray, gray skies in S.E. MI requires a dose of music every day in the winter.
A trip to Border's tonight got me thinking again about CDs, MP3s, jukeboxes, I-pods, downloads, and radio. I bought a Richard Thompson CD (Live from Austin) to keep me company while I figure out whether to subsribe to radio, invest in downloads, etc. --- and which ones. Lots of choices out there.
