Classical Music
Classical radio wit
Dude, you’re illegally parked outside the new Winspear Opera House in Dallas.
WRR 101.1-FM isn’t a public radio NPR station, but one of only a handful of commercial classical stations in the country. Perhaps this gives them license, or makes it a necessity, to drop the mannered, “eat your vegetables” approach that is heard from too many public radio classical stations.

Yes it’s time that classical DJ’s stretched a little. Isn’t the music lively, emotional, dramatic, even fun sometimes? They must train them at the same school where artists learn to write artist statements.
