BBC photograph
IN Preston, England, there's a cobbler's shop where the shoe-maker and mender, named Calvert, cobbles all day. There is no call for a night shift (as in "Chu Chin Chow") since the cobbler's son is Eddie Calvert, one of England's leading musicians and known as "the man with the golden trumpet." Calvert is heard in many BBC programmes. When he was eight his father made him practise for three-quarters of an hour a day. Still in the shop are the music stand and the stick with which papa pointed out mistakes. The trumpet has graduated in the musical scale―it's gold-plated and worth £350. Eddie Calvert's recording of "O Mein Papa" is expected to sell 3,000,000 records all over the world.
