PHILIP THORNTON
THIS WEEK Mr. Thornton is going to take his listeners in search of the music of Northern India. He will play and sing tunes that he has collected upon his strange assortment of instruments, and will try to give as vividly as he can an idea of this type of music. He confesses that the music of India has a greater appeal to """ in many respects than that of his own country - and he certainty has the power of entering into the very spin of a technique completely different from what we are used to in Europe.
