This Week’s Cover
- Now, now, lady, let us bear in mind that music hath charms to soothe the savage breast. Let us meditate upon how much this world needs more homemade music, where a person thrills to his own created sound. Have you not seen the glory in the eyes of a young lad sitting beside his open window of a summer evening, practicing with all his might upon his trumpet? Can you get such an unworldly soaring of the spirit from revolving a platter inside a box? Look, lady, why don’t you and your husband take up the slide trombone and— What’s that you say? Why don’t we shut up? O.K., so you want to be difficult. If we were Artist Hughes, we’d shut that window on your neck. Your radio is always on too blankety-blank loud.
