BAND RECORDS
Sir.-What has became of all those lovely records that once delighted so many listeners-mandolin and banjo bands, piano accordion and marimba bands, steel guitar, accordion, concertina, xylophone, piccolo, flutes, etc.? Too much of. the music we hear now is orchestral, till one gets sick and tired of the confounded thing. And why is there so much talk with music? Most of us hear more than enough talk without listening to the composer’s pedigree. Who cares when they were born, where they were born, how long they lived, when they died, where they died, and who went to their funeral? Why not give the old-time listeners an instrumental programme one evening a week, and cut out some of the talk and serials.
