Listeners' Own
EVERYMAN’S selection may be no man’s programme. 1ZM’s "Listeners’ Own Programme" sounds as though the items are presented in the order in which the requests are received. Without any selection the programme tends to have no order at all. Even in, the unsophisticated walks of popular music the coherent. elements of unity and variety are important. A string of unrelated items narrows the interest to admit few more than those who are expecting to hear their own choice and the attention of each of these may flag when his selection has been played. "Pistol Packing Momma," "La Golondrina," "The Old Music Master," "Over the Rainbow": a few minutes’ pleasure to the few as against an hour’s enjoyment to the many from a well-planned programme, sifting but not necessarily omitting any of the requests sent in.
