When I was in the field, the easy listening shows felt painful. As I "mature" I can understand the genius behind them. Thanks for asking, Chris!

Pete Smith has your easy favorites, with great stories.  "Sketches in Sound".  Roger Carroll told me Pete had a pretty incredible day job.  KMPC had him as full-time standby.  Fulltime check for just being able to cover any shift.  I don't think that's done anymore.
