Regarding the colored bars: The library is color-coded. Orange = singer/songwriter and real-deal country Red = rock 'n' roll, rockabilly Blue = blues Green = Louisiana music: Cajun, zydeco, brass bands, swamp pop White = compilations and music that doesn't conveniently fit in other categories, i.e., conjunto, Gospel, Brave Combo While there's always room for some quibbling about who goes in what category, that's part of the fun. Also, we allegedly use a color wheel, a wheel that's divided into library color-coded segments to correspond with the divisions of the hour so we don't do an entire show of, say, orange songs. That works better with some jocks than others.
