John Walsh (Jan 31, 2000)

Dear Elyon:
Several weeks ago I was bemoaning the lack of good classical music programs on the radio. I recalled that perhaps the best of these was run by a gentleman, Seymour DeKoven. Up until sometime in the eighties he broadcast from the Fordham University station in New York. He called himself simply "DeKoven" in later years. He favored what he called Barococo music, baroque and rococo music.
DeKoven's musical knowledge was encyclopedic and I learned a lot. He was very opinionated but, since his opinions coincided with mine, I thought he was great.
I surfed the net and the only site I could find that might possibly have a connection was yours.
Regards,
John Walsh
