I realized a little while ago while looking thru the mixup of who didn't
like PHC, that I had also misattributed Al S's comments about cafeteria
P.A. to Steve. Sorry. This has been a rather confusing set of
attributions in this thread, and it would help if we all signed our
posts with our names and all had mail programs which put the names of
the quoted senders rather than programs which put in "You wrote on . . .
"
Again, sorry

station has, but I DO know my blues show had a small-but-loyal
audience! And, in actual fact, it IS "shunted to a cafeteria PA
system!"
However, it is also hearable via the Internet. I actually don't know if
either Durham College or UOIT offer any "broadcasting" courses;
I know ISU did!
Left to my own "druthers," I'd webcast my 55,057(+/-) 78's...?!
