Non Pew and Dry
| HERE is an element of suspense about 2YA’s Friday evening session "At Short Notice-Music that cannot be announced in advance." Anyone who may have suspected that the records for this session are actually assembled well in advance and that the secret is artificial will have all such doubts dispelled if he will listen in to the summary of programmes for the evening, given as late as 7.0 p.m., when the announcer is still unable to disclose the contents of the session. Indeed, one could easily believe that the whole thing is sprung as a surprise on the announcer himself, for the other evening, faced with naming a new and horrible Nelson Eddy record of "Non piu andrai" from Mozart’s Marriage of Figaro (sometimes sung in English as "Now your days of philandering are over"), the announcer bravely sailed in with his literal translation and called it "Thou shalt not go there any more," emphasising his words with the steady determination of a_ schoolboy trying to conceal the fact that he hasn’t prepared his Latin translation.
