Irregular Programmes
\ Y not entirely successful pursuit of the Letters from Eve from 4YC made me sigh for the beautiful and, in my experience at least, unerring regularity of programmes from the Commercial stations. "Eve" appeared in the first week on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday; in the second week, on Monday, Thursday and Saturday, To complicate matters further, these programmes started at odd times in the evening: 9.30, 10.0, 6.20, 9.30, 9.40 and 8 o’clock. The notable series of Bach unaccompanied suites for ‘cello were presented in the same way---Wednesday at 10.8, Sunday at 9.40, the following Wednesday at 10.8, and at approximately 10.0 on the Friday after that. The Dunedin Studio Orchestra may appear at 7.45, or at 8.0, and a wary eye must be kept on Dunedin Digest, which may start any time between 7.50 and 8 o’clock, It may be a purely personal weakness that makes me forget that a major work is timed to begin at 7.56, or 8.14, or is my increasing experience of music thus decapitated shared by other listeners?? The answer, of course, is to hand, in a frequent consultation of the printed programmes; but I find, to my regret that, though the spirit be willing, the memory is weak.
