We are proud of the fact that there is no (and probably never will  
be) a "smooth jazz" section in the KFJC station library. Out of well  
over 600,00 LPs, CDs, Singles, etc we might have something that  
somebody might call "smooth jazz" if they were not really listening,  
but sure not very many of 'em.

No Kenny, that's for sure!

The smallest actual section of our library is the "New Age Music" but  
most everybody calls that shelf "Newage" (rhymes with Garbage...)
