I thought it was a very good application of MD - it was just the mental
image I had of the 60+ year-old presenters, playing nothing newer than 50s
music on something so modern. :)
As someone else pointed out, the archival of such old 78rpm recordings is a
very good thing, especially in the not-especially-record-friendly
environment of the radio station.
