BALLROOM EFFECTS TO ORDER
Station 2ZB’s Session For Dancers
where the dance is to-night please? The one Lane Patterson is M.C. at. And how can we get there?" This is not an unusual Saturday night’s request. In fact, upward of 20 people phone Station 2ZB every Saturday night in an endeavour to find out where to go to join in the fun of "2ZB’s Ballroom." It is a pity to spoil such a pleasant illusion, but credit must go to the programme compére, Lane Patterson of 2ZB, for the imagination and wit supplied by Lane. The ballroom is built up from records from the 2ZB library. The illusion is created with the aid of recordings, and Lane always endeavours to introduce some highlight into the evening’s entertainment. One night there may be a particularly charming vocalist singing several well known numbers to a dance band accompaniment. One night recently some disturbance was caused by two puppies sneaking into the ballroom to snarl and bark, and scamper around; all done by records, effécts, and compering. One other Saturday night there was an imaginary birthday party in honour of a 2ZB receptionist, and appropriate birthday wishes and songs were heard over the air Lane promises (possibly with his tongue in his cheek) that there is to be a special barefoot night shortly, following the lead of dance halls in the U.S., where people -- their shoes and dance in stockinged | that Station 2ZB? Could you tell me
" 2Z7B’s Ballroom" compéred by Lane Patterson, is heard from that station from 10.30 p.m. to midnight every Saturday night.
