I'm wondering if anyone disagrees and thinks the right thing to
do was what I actually did -- stay with the Tower until I could
get permission to change to Ground.

It's rare, but not unusual for the BED tower to not do the "left
at Golf, ground .7" thing. It's happened to me more than once.
I just turn off and tune ground. At BED, ground is much quieter
than the tower frew. But in the above scenario, I probably should
also monitor the tower (sometimes I do, sometimes I don't).
