STUDIO RECITALS
Sir-I think H. E. Gunter in his letter to your paper voiced the opinion of the majority of listeners when he protested against all this amateur singing, especially the women who seem to come on on every station every few minutes, even when not listed. Can’t all this take place in the morning and let the good stuff come on at 8.0 p.m.good music, interesting talks and subjects of the: day told by. people who have really done something-the sort of thing stodgy people like when they have done the washing up and put the children to bed and the young are either at lessons or gone out to amusements? The best stuff comes on when no one has time to listen, from 6.45 to’ 7.30 when parents and others are still busy finishing up their work. Appeals for food for Europe --tales of distress and hunger---come on when those who would help are not there to listen and those who have time to listen at that hour are looking for crooners and jazz and so switch’ off, Tired middle age does not want to hear poor singing from every station.
