followed with interest’ the opinions ~ of readers concerning their favourite ‘organists. However, I would like to give a list of leading "swing" pianists, especially as "swing music" is attracting so much attention in’ America to-day. There is Joe Sullivan playing "Gin Mill Blues," a veritable masterpiece in slow time. Then Teddy Wilson, who forms part of the Goodman Trio, with his "Someday R eetheart." We must not forget Earl Hines, particularly in "St. James’s Infirmary Blues." Fats Waller, too, a genial, massive negro, whose solid left hand is heard to advantage in many H.M.V. records, also deserves mention. This subject has been my hobby for years.
