GUEST,Linda Goodman at work What is a good song and why? (56* d) RE: What is a good song and why? 16 Feb 05


Coming home last night from a parent/teachers' conference I got somewhat lost and heard the most fascinating thing on the radio. It was a description of why the Harold Arlen song "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" is so great. I never much liked the song, and still don't, but the radio program was extrordinarily interesting and informative on what makes a song "tick".

The radio program was "Performance Today", Feb 15, 2005. The program can be heard by going to the Performance Today website. This is a National Public Radio (NPR) program. I think the link to the actual program is http://www.npr.org/templates/rundowns/rundown.php?prgId=4&prgDate=02-15-2005
Of course I heard this program on the {THREAD CREEP!!!} Classical music station in our Nation's Capital --WETA. The nightly program of Performance Today will be gone from DC area's airways by the end of this month (sigh).
