[FM] WUMB (Internet Radio)

[CanoeMJN@aol.com]

I'm in Buffalo NY and there is not a single radio station that plays 
contemporary folk music.  There is absolutely nothing - not even a syndicated 
"Mountain Stage" or "Acoustic Cafe."  Nothing!  I stumbled upon WUMB several 
months ago, and it has been a joy.  Most days in the office I'm logged into 
it. 

A couple of weeks ago I had trouble logging on and discovered that I now had 
to register register with WUMB in order to access their web site.  Like Alan 
sed ("sed" = past tense of "sez"), I had to provide them with some personal 
information and select a user name an password.  After doing that I was back 
on like before.

I have no problem registering and letting them know who I am and where I am.  
I'm sure it costs them money to put their signal out on the net, and I don't 
think it's unreasonable for them to want to know who's using the service.  
Maybe they'll send me an e-mail from time-to-time requesting a contribution - 
and you know what?  I'll probably send them one.  This is a great service 
they're providing to the radio starved  in markets like Buffalo.
