ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS
J. ANDERSON, of Wanganui, asks for information about the organist Ken Griffin, but so far it has proved hard to get. He began his career playing organs in cinemas, then moved on to playing in night clubs. After service in the armed forces during the war he made a few recordings, one of them the hit number "You Can’t Be True, Dear." That song established him as a recording artist, and since then he has continued in that field. D.Y.: (Levin): Sir Hubert Pimm’s recording of "I Wanna Say Hello" has a straight piano accompaniment, not a roller or player piano. Sir Hubert’s real identity appears to be a carefully kept secret, and all we can find out is that the name is the pseudonym of a wellknown American society pianist.
