Expanding your listening horizons.....

Hello all,

I've been talking with some of you the past few days about iTunes and some of the other pay music services on the Web. In addition to these, there are a lot of radio stations streaming audio for free. I encourage you to check these out! Pull up something every day to listen to, even for a few minutes, some piece or category of music you're not familiar with.

There's a site called Classical Webcast that has links to a bunch of classical radio stations from around the world. One of my favorites is BBC Radio 3 from Britain. They archive their shows for a period of one week so you can stream on demand. Each week they broadcast a Choral Evensong service from one of the English cathedrals with great choral music. There are also shows with jazz, Celtic music, etc. BBC Radio has several different stations with varied music programming and great world news coverage.

Check it out - I think you'll enjoy!
