Summary
If you're over a certain age - and not a very old one at that - you probably remember elevator music. It was so ubiquitous that it became universally reviled, and now we're left with silence. You don't know what you've got until it's gone, as they say. Dave Combs wrote one of the songs you may have heard during a vertical journey, called Rachel's Song. You also almost definitely don't know the song's name, so we played it during this hour. Maybe after hearing it again you'll lobby your local congressman to make it illegal to not play elevator music in every elevator. Now that's a political cause we can get behind.
