IT IS with great sorrow, confusion and frustration that I write this letter, in the hope that the powers that be may see it and investigate the situation post-haste.

Why is it that year after year, Crop-Over after Crop-Over, disc jockeys at the most popular FM stations continue to plague the airwaves with the usual nonsensical and sometimes sexually-loaded "compositions" from the so-called popular shareholders, when they can offer a more balanced mixture by simply incorporating songs from the not-so-popular musicians?

On May 26, at around 10 a.m., while stuck in traffic, I happened to hear on the car radio some very good compositions by a couple of recording artistes I had never heard before.

I asked other people about the songs and they all agreed that they were fairly good efforts for "first-timers".

Sadly though, that was probably the first and last time that these songs were played. This leaves me a little baffled.

Isn't it time that we seek to encourage the young people who would like to be a part of this national event?
