Bob Bittner ought to download Rene's whole WNEW library. I guess he can't do that unless/until he reaches his 2011 fund-raising goal at WJIB/WJTO. He said that when he did that, he would buy a new and larger hard drive for one of his computers. Until he does that, I don't think he has the HDD capacity to add any files. I imagine that a lot of the tracks in the WNEW library are also in Bob's library, but I doubt whether anything like all of them are. I also imagine that Bob's library contains a lot of tracks that WNEW never would have (and never should have) played. I don't know whether Bob has a copy of the worst Sinatra record ever recorded (a duet with Dagmar called Mama Will Bark), but a lot of Bob's music is in that category and also in what I call the bubble-gum category. WNEW never lowered its standards to play stuff like that (although I do think that Jonathan Schwartz must have played Mama Will Bark at least once, maybe to prove that his idol could make a bad record if he tried hard enough).
