ONE FOR, TWO AGAINST
Sir-One word of appreciation and two of "constructive criticism." We who love organ music-numerically insignificant, possibly-are often forgotten, so it is with real gratitude that I write to express appreciation of the half-hour of’ good organ music from 1ZM on Sunday evenings at 9.30. The time is right, the music is right: long may it continue. First criticism: When we are "taken over to the Auckland Town Hall" for a concert, it is the custom of -the "host" to mutter in his beard during the whole of the interval. Did he*keep quiet we could absorb the atmosphere of the large gathering by listening in to the buzz of conversation and other typical noises, but mine host, speaking very slowly to make his scanty matter spin out, and repeating himself over and over
keeps up a continuous deep-throated monologue, until the artist reappears, when he gabbles off the rest of his sentence at a terrific rate. Silence is golden. Criticism two: The theme-song complex has spread to 1YA, which now plays the same contemplative music every day following the devotional session. One can have too much of a good thing.
