Bob executed his programming with dignity and professionalism and delighted his listeners with an unfailing quality repertoire of classic music. Also in memory of the late John Avison who was born on the 26th of April, year ?,( if my memory serves me well) . John, Conductor of the CBC Radio Orchestra at one point of his life was known and admired by many people and I do remember him fondly as the greatest Radio Voice I have ever heard. My heartfelt ‘Thank you’ to both Gentlemen! What an irony that now April 2008 both institutions are in the limelight with the CBC radio Orchestra in danger of being eliminated and the CBC Radio Two station going to be stripped of most of it’s classic music programming. Oh my! Just like Alison Dunford I thought that this was an April prank but it is more like a nightmare. In fear of losing the CBC Radio Orchestra and more of the classic music repertoire on CBC Radio Two I am truly glad that there are so many opinions expressed. I also thought that I was the only one to resent the phrase “Where ever music takes you” but unlike Alison , I did not get used to it and turned to the Seattle station instead. Sorry CBC, but one can endure just so much! Of course I did turn the dial to listen to ‘Rick Phillips Sound Advice’, he not only gave sound and intelligent advice about music but delivered it with a great radio voice. That man has a real good RADIO VOICE ! And why has that program been cancelled? I do not mind my tax money supporting programs where everyone can learn from, but wasting it on the production of inferior stuff which costs just us much I do mind very much indeed! Are we going to lose ‘Choral Concert’ as well? I hope not, and pray that ‘ Music Hall with Catherine Duncan’ and her pleasing RADIO VOICE will be re-instated. For those two programs back to back and in perfect harmony gave listeners THREE hrs. of wonderful sounds. They were our family’s musical company during breakfast every Sunday for years and it would be so good to have them back together again, to be enjoyed by CBC Radio Two listeners.

CBC is a public funded station, and has the obligation to conform to its listeners' preferences.

How are we going to teach the next generation to love classical music if we don't make it available for them? There is a large audience for opera and classical music. Just see how the Met Live Operabroadcasts are received. It is always sold out, and usually TWO auditoriums are filled. I am very much in favour of Canadian Orchestras, but I also would like to hear some internationan orchestras as well such as the New York Philharmonic, the Philadelphia Philharmonic, Vienna Philhafmonic etc Also the argument that listen to CDs or "the Internet does not wash. The radio is a lot more accessible than either of these technologies. I have a radio in every room of my house, but no computer or CD player ! Please keep CBCRadio2 ! .
