One of the most delightful songs for concert bassos is the "Song of .the Woodenlegged Fiddler." Tho words are by Alfred .yes, the musical setting bv Graham Peel. It has been sung for the {tamophone by Norman Allin, probably one of the finest exponents of diction through the gramophone. The record of this strikingly original song is a masterpiece in its way. The wide range and great beauty of the artist's .voice are enhanced in value for tho. listener by the absolute clearness of every word sung'by Mr Allin—and so much cannot always be said'for Bingers in person, on stage or'platform.
