It was as members of The Lux Radio Players that HP first learned such 
radio fundamentals as how reel to reel tape recorders worked, some 
ways of avoiding 60 hz hum and how to type script. It was only with 
this knowledge that we ventured out to the newly formed CFRO-FM, 
Vancouver Cooperative Radio, to start doing our own radio show.

Leora Salter, who had worked hard for years getting Co-op Radio 
licensed and on the air, and another member of the station, Hildegard 
Westerkamp interviewed us to ascertain the suitability of ourselves 
and our proposed program as we and it related to the station's mandate. 
I had broken my glasses before the interview and had to squint to see 
any details and Leora asked if scowling at her was necessary and it was 
explained I was squinting and we agreed it was a good thing CO-OP 
wasn't a TV station.

Hildegard asked if we were going to do bourgeois art radio. It was a 
question I was entirely unprepared for. In the previous 5 years I had 
worked on green chain, been a crane operator, logged, cooked, fought 
forest fires, been a book reviewer, rough necked, been a deck hand on a 
tug boat, lined track on the rail road, been a gravel crusher operator, 
drove a cab, worked in a steel mill and installed awnings among other 
things and was quickly trying to think about the myriad workers I had 
known and that some liked country and western music and some didn't. 
Four or five people sat outside, under the window of the room we were 
in, sharing a bottle of Similkameen Superior and I was wondering about 
what they would think about somebody else deciding what what would 
be appropriate for them to listen to when Hank responded by asking, 
"What art isn't bourgeois?"13
