In regard to Marcy Burstiner’s piece in the Nov. 5 issue (“Media Maven”), there are many points with which I disagree.

For one thing, it’s not like when you turn 50 you suddenly don’t count. Everyone counts. Second, the reason folk shows have been running on KHSU for 40 years is because people have been requesting them for 40 years.

Now, I’m all for getting kid-run activities. As a 10-year-old girl, I love events that are by and for kids. However, it’s not fair to sacrifice the music lots of people love for just one piece of the population.

P.S. I like Thistle & Shamrock a lot.
