SOLOMON CONCERT
Sir,-I read with interest the letter of J. Williams re Solomon and the "Emperor" Concerto. Perhaps Mr. Williams has not realised that the gentlemen who were broadcast from 2YA on the night
in question can only be heard at. rare intervals: to wit, a mere twice a day on four days a week for some 30 weeks in the year. On the other hand, Solomon can be heard at almost any time-at least four times in a lifetime. This was perhaps the reason why Solomon’s. broadcast was transferred to a station which however badly received in Hawke’s Bay could hardly be received at all in Auckland. Perchance.they feared that all the Parliamentary reporters would be taken suddenly ill and the Budget Debate would not be printed in the next day’s newspapers, The footnote referred to appeared to me the equivalent of throwing a brick at a drowning man.
