...star, "you damn well can't sing anywhere." The stage floor of London's Royal Opera House sags and some of its scenery dates back to 1908, but the theater's acoustics are still near perfect. This week, slightly faded but resonant, Covent Garden celebrates its 100th birthday in a gala performance for the Queen.

It was all part of the jazzy ("Y's UP") 100th anniversary celebration of Chicago's Y.M.C.A...
...date, he would want a 204-page catalog published monthly by William Schwann of Boston. In the ten years since LPs started flooding the market, the Schwann Long Playing Record Catalog has become a fascinating indication of music consumption in the vinyl era. Last week, as his 100th catalog was being mailed out to 4,000 record shops in the U.S. and 37 foreign countries, Cataloger Schwann took a statistical look at the musical revolution that keeps him in business. Some of his assorted findings...
