Round The World By Music
GREAT many songs and other pieces of music take the name of a country, | a city, or a town as part of their title and theme. Years ago there was, for instance, a vogue for going back to Dixie, Alabama, or some other place guaranteed to rouse nostalgia. Singers to-day complain of not being able to get Indiana off their minds or tell of boyhood days in ole Oklahoma, while orchestras disport themselves in Persian markets and gardens. With the idea of making,a world tour in a more comprehensive way, the NBS will use place names for a new series in the For My Lady session, under the general title of "Music from the Map." Songs and compositions such as Afton Water, On the Road to Mandalay, Brigg Fair, and so on will be used in a form | of globe-trotting to music. The new series is to start from 3YA on Monday, January 14, at 10.10 am., afterwards going round the main‘ National stations.
