No commercials? Here's your filler music.

What do you do when you're a radio announcer at a small AM station, and it's time to take a break?  At most stations, you'd have a set of commercials to play.  If your station doesn't have that, though, you can fill time the way one station here did years ago--by playing part of George Benson's "Breezin'" until the next interview, commentary, or show is ready to go.  It's one of the best jazz guitar melodies ever recorded, after all, and it's familiar to most listeners.  Although the radio station that used it as transition music was short-lived, I came to appreciate its use as the station's signature theme.  It was a good way of saying, in effect, "Let's kick back and take a breather before delving into another serious topic."
