MUSIC AND PEOPLE
MUCH BESIDES MUSIC, by _ Thorold Waters; Georgian House, Melbourne. Australian price, 21/-. "HE author was a journalist in Australia at thirteen. He had a successful career as an operatic and oratorio singer in Great Britain, joined the Melbourne Sun 25 years ago, fathered the) Sun Aria Contest, and believes he is the | first man to earn a full livelihood in Australia by writing about music. These are his reminiscences, and he has known interesting people in music and politics. He is illuminating about Melba and other singers, and kindly towards everyone. But there is no sequence to his/ story, little discrimination, and one turns over much ground to find the potatoes. He seems to be taking a holiday from all the rules sub-editors impose, and to
be thoroughly enjoying it.
