One MAIN thing that is missing is a good classical music station. I don't have CD's of everything, nor do I want to be changing CD's every two seconds in the car and in the house. Of course I enjoy the Villages radio station. The music, the interviews, the commentaries and the oldies are fun. BUT, I basically call it the "propoganda" station. ;- You can't sit outside in a comfortable chair to read quietly without the propoganda station being on all over the place at ALL times wherever you may be. That's the design!

But yeah, a good classical music station would be wonderful. Is there one and am I missing it?

So, if you want the BEST classical music and broadway shows, you'll have to pay top dollar and pay triple the amound of money to own a house elsewhere.

One can always nit pick, but all in all, this is an awesome place to be with lots of music to be had if you're not a SNOB about it.
Tweety? A little bird told me you sing OPERA.
