Sir,-I think that most New Zealanders have become tired of listening to hackneyed American nasal crooners of the Bing Crosby standard. If Mr. Crosby is not a crooner, then perhaps you could tell me what he is. Nelson Eddy is not an artist up to the standard of Chaliapin, Stracciani, or Tibbett. If some of our listeners haven’t heard of these three famous singers, then give us more of them and perhaps this country will wake up, "understand genius
and ability" and "stop being stupid.’-
