Pretty shallow, those -- he adored Wanda Landowska, for heaven's
sake.
Actually, it was Rosalyn Tureck if memory serves me right.
It was particularly galling to see WNCN switch to rock when the
midnight to 6am DJ, a guy named Watson, used to play the
Well-Tempered Clavier nonstop. After it was done, he'd come on the
air and say, "Now wasn't that beautiful?" and play it again in clear
defiance of commercial broadcasting standards. I used to listen to
Watson when I was a grad student in 1965 to 1967. He helped me make
it through the night.
