Music on Tap
T was the public bar of a country hotel. The early thirst of some dozen locals and visitors was being slaked from four or five barrels on the end counter. There was a lively discussion on the next day’s
races, and race-cards were being marked with all those hot tips which, as everyone knows, are sure things on the day before the meeting. Above the bar, among sundry bottles, a radio played. Everyone heard although none listened. The barman gaily whistled the tune, and his. customers unconsciously tapped its rhythms on the counter. There was no doubt-music had charms. No, this was not "Musie While You Work," nor was it "Round the Bandstand" or "Music and Romance." It was music for "Broadcast to Schools."
