Re: nonaligned radio/Pandora

["Dave Trenkel" <improv@peak.org>]

The first time I tried Pandora, I set up a Sun Ra station. First track was 
Sun Ra, 2nd was a Mary Lou Williams Gospel/jazz track from the '60's, 
third 
was Manhattan Transfer. I'm sorry, but you can't go from Ra to Manhattan 
Transfer in 2 moves.
