         ...Paul,I just gotta disagree with you here.I don't think you
         understand the relative nature of what I've said here.Among
         AOR stations,WMMR is rather open-minded.Compare them to their
         neighbors up the dial at 94;a station that want's to be as-
         sociated in the public's mind with young chicks in tight T-shirts
         giving the head-banging salute...

      ...Paul are you reasonably sure you *know* they're playing her if 
      the DJ doesn't say so??? My experience of Diaspar is that they end
      every five-song set with a twenty minute monologue,discussing the
      musicians and everything they've done for the past decade and every-
      one who's vaguely associated with them...etc.I really don't remember
      hearing many female vocalists on Diaspar.I don't think that Diaspar plays 
      that much vocal music at all.

            And I don't believe that she's that heavily played on YNMT.
        Of course I listened often to YNMT during the past summer,maybe
        because the album about dogs has been released since then I've
        missed something.I doubt it though...
