Don't know...I've read somewhere sometime that instrumental music is boring.

Start of personal opinion side track:
"Actually that could be true in a lot of cases and most non-jazz instrumentals are rather short. Just imagine Marty Robbins' El Paso as a full length instrumental. Actually nothing is happening while the vocal version tells a rather interesting story.

Often jazz instrumentals are not interesting because the instrumentalists often show extensively the lowest and highest notes they can play and how fast they can go from one to the other. I have a recording somwhere where after about four or five minutes you learn that the tune is On the Sunny Side of the Street by the band playing the musical theme once.

I, that is my personal preference, like to listen to instrumentals. I have quite a few albums strictly instrumental. I even bought a Chris Gaffney CD because of the two instrumentals on it."
End of personal opinion side track.

Most radio stations that I know play instrumentals on request or as time fillers that can be faded in or out, or are used as fillers between information casts to aurally separate them from each other; in a sense that even the dumbest of the public has a chance to notice that there is something different coming.
