MUSIC AT MEALTIMES.
Sir,-One tires of reading so many complaints in the Letters From dasteners columns about the kind of brealfast and dinner programmes served up, @id the lack of classical music at these ‘periods. As Omar might say, "much has" been written about it and about." It is impossible to please everyone, but here is a letter from one of the vast army of the proletariat who surely must outnumber those who can’t bear to listen to anything but classical, music, and..after all it is easier to please the masses. than a handful of highbrows. For onéI thoroughly enjoy the popular music played during these periods with the exception perhaps of the "City Slickers" who- in my opinion. should be incarcerated sans instruments. However there are those who like them and one can. always switch off anything one doesn’t,.want to hear. It would be a queer world if we all cared for the same things. I would not by any means say I abhor classical music, On the contrary there are very many classical pieces I thoroughly enjoy listening to, but I must admit that the old favourites hold more attraction for me, and as I remarked before. there
is always the knob.
