Slightly related: Greg, you used to have a page with radio transcriptions CDs you recommended. Is that still around somewhere? I can't find it anymore.

[phantom dancer]

Hi Lipi,

My apologies the page is no longer up. I dropped it because in the last year or so usage dropped off to next to nothing and it took a lot of time for me to maintain the page. The GFC I suspect. All the material was from Amazon. CD Universe also seem to have a good selection. Thank you for using the page in the past. I hope you find what you are looking for. All the best
