A challenge to those who believe that wireless has killed home-made music
Arranged by JAMES RAE
Produced by MOULTRIE KELSALL .
This is an entertainment for the middle-aged unsophisticated. Mr. and Mrs. A., dwellers in the artisans' quarter of Aberdeen, have bought a fine new wireless set and asked their neighbours in to hear it.
They arrive, the set is turned on, and they hear a symphony concert from London. Half a minute is enough to persuade them that there may be people who like symphony concerts, but they would prefer something else.
They turn to the Scottish programme and are greeted with the raucous voice of a Glasgow comedian, which proves as unpopular as the symphony concert. And so they decide to provide a programme of their own, which, as listeners will hear, turns out to be a musical evening of the homely type containing neither good nor syncopated music, but plenty of popular, sentimental ballads such as ' God send you back to me' and ' Grannie's Hieland Hame '.
