[78-L] Record collection brings laughs

[Cary Ginell]

Muzak's legacy has been simplistically labeled as being just "elevator music," but their company had a broader history. They provided background music for many facilities, including restaurants, theaters, offices, and other public establishments. Their repertoire wasn't just 101 Living Strings blandness; they did customize music to fit the facility and although their name has become a joke, they were much more attuned to matching appropriate music to individual venues. For a few years, I worked for a different company, AEI Music, that did the same thing, except I was in their inflight division which programmed music channels, wrote scripts, and conducted interviews for specialty programs on airline audio systems.
