19. I love classical, but in the boondocks, there's only one repeater.

And it’s very weak. I have gone over to Internet radio, via browser or apps, but it’s not as easy as flipping a switch, of course.

Favs are KUSC/KDFC, WBJC, WDAV (Davidson), WQXR (several channels, including the Operavore channel) and so on.

KUSC has Lara Downes’ program from 8 to 12p pacific, weeknights, with an immense variety of classical, and WDAV has “Concierto” now and then. These are great musical and educational experiences.

Music keeps me young!

If I hear something really good, I’ll often go over to the piano and try to play it. Results vary, but the effort is really good for mind and spirit.
