...several bass, piano, and drum solos demonstrated. Bassist Eddie Young of Young-Holt Unlimited has a good time on stage, too--so did we.

Everything before them--Steve Marcus, who bombed with "Wild Thing"; Jethro Tull, with Ian Anderson strutting, kicking, and striking a Panlike pose with his flute; and the frenetic sound of Ten Years Yater--was prologue.

A second group audited an equivalent daily dose of Arnold Schoenberg-Pierrot Lunaire, Verkldrte Nacht and Kol Nidre, among other compositions. The third set of rats, appointed as a control, heard nothing but the whirring of a ventilation...
