Sir,-Your correspondents seem very vindictive towards crooners. The Americans are a fine people and they put this fellow Crosby on the top for entertainment. I would like him for breakfast, but I’m afraid I get the wrong session. To "Old Fashioned" I would say that most of our ideas are not ours: if he tuned in to Tokyo would he wonder what the Japanese appreciated in their singers? Tolerance is thought to be confined to the older folk. "Another Average Listener" and "Old Fashioned" should try some.
