Build-down
OW and then, accidental listening yields delightful results. It was quite by accident that I heard a "Starlight" programme from 4YA, featuring our old friend Tommy Handley. In his own inimitable fashion, Tommy introduced a pianist, Alan Paul, with a rapid and derogatory résumé of Mr. Paul’s childhood, youth, and subsequent career. His further comments on Mr. Paul’s supposed "concerto for Jew’s harp, bagpipes, and’ three-and-ninepenny alarm-clock" weére a none-too-subtle parody of the more boring type of music critic, But what ‘followed when the subject of his remarks sat down to play was most de-lightful-a tricky and elegant essay in the classical variations form, decorating that old nursery tune "A Frog He Would A-Wooing Go." Thanks, Tommy and Alan; another of the same, please!
