My own radio station

A most enjoyable evening yesterday - dinner with friends both old and new. It started many years ago when the Old Bat was at school. Several of her friends from then still get together every month or so and they decided that for once their other halves would be invited. The ladies prepared a selection of starters and desserts and we all chose our main course from the menu of a local take-away Italian restaurant. I have known three of the ladies ever since marrying the OB and two of their husbands since their respective marriages. The third husband is my old friend Chris, who met (and later married) Mrs Chris after her marriage broke up and his first wife died. The last lady I had met on only one occasion as she and her husband live in the Cotswolds and they are in Brighton only to visit her mother. Yesterday was the first time I had met her husband, but we seemed to get on pretty well.

So what on earth has this to do with a radio station, you ask? Naturally, the conversation round the dinner table ranged wide, and one of the men mentioned a web site which enables one to set up a list of artistes whose music can then be played over the computer. It has several advantages over playing ones own CDs on the computer. First, one tends to know the exact order of songs on ones own CD collection. Then it leaves the disc drive free. But perhaps the biggest advantage is that the web site suggests other artistes one might like and of whom one has never heard. And I nearly forgot to mention that it is completely free!
