BETTER MUSIC
plr,---i think Cornstaik Nas a wrong impression of music. After all, there are many kinds of music, and people have their own tastes. If, as he says, most of us younger folk prefer swing to classical, then that is our affair, and definitely our enjoyment, I do appreciate some classical music, but modern rhythm gives me a much greater pleasure. What, for instance, is wrong with "The Last Time I Saw Paris," played by Ambrose? That, in my mind is picturesque and very pretty. If "Cornstalk" had even taken the trouble to listen to the 1ZB Sunday Request session, he would have found swing the main choice of the public. Surely that shows the musical taste of the average listener, and also the reason why more of this "better music" is not broadcast.
