...drinks at the Washington Athletic Club. Two members of the Chamber of Commerce and a newspaperman convivially agreed that it would be nice for Seattle to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the 1909 Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition with another, grander fair. By the time the three reached the label on the bottle, the fair was no joke, and things began to happen. The city pledged $10 million for an opera house, a theater and an exhibition hall. The state put up $10 million more for a coliseum. Local businessmen rounded up another $4.5 million, and finally the Federal Government appropriated...
...recent Christmassy records. The renowned E. Power Biggs can be heard playing Twelve Noels by the eighteenth-century French composer, Louis Claude Daquin on the reedy, mock-sixteenth-century Flentrop Organ in the Busch-Reisinger Museum (Columbia ML 5567). And the Harvard Glee Club has recorded on a local label a handsome selection of the more worthwhile Christmas carols--Volume I (Cambridge Records CRS-401), for instance, includes Vaughan Williams' arrangements of the Gloucestershire and Yorkshire Wassails, "Lo, How a Rose," Gustav Holst's Personent Hodie, the sussex Carol, and "The Holly and the Ivy." The Glee Club, recorded...
...permitted to read is witless and dull. Probably the safest rule for the adult buyer is to avoid any book bearing the endorsement of any educational book or library advisory service. One such-The Man Who Walked Around the World, by Benjamin Elkin (Childrens Press; $2.50)-bears the menacing label, "A Reading Laboratory Book," and offers "skill-builder words beyond the first thousand words for children's reading." Among the skill-builders are lad, lit, below, flew and top, which provoke wonder as to what the first thousand words could be and who counted them...
...voice, a big guitar, and a big rhythm often serve to hide a lack of feeling in a blues singer, but here they serve only to enhance an already powerful emotive force. The Reverend Gary Davis, blind "street singer," has a new release on the Prestige Bluesville label, which is a total gas because the man plays guitar like nobody's business. Folks-Lyric, has released a series of discs made by blues singers at the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola. (The Penitentiary has since released some of the singers.) The best of these is titled "Angola Prisoners' Blues...
Finally, I will mention a few albums by local folksingers. Joan Baez has been well-promoted in Cambridge. She has, in addition to her first release on the Veritas label, two records on Vanguard. Baez has a staggeringly beautiful voice. Her rendition of "Old Blue" on her latest Vanguard release is also excellent for checking up on the distortion of your phono-cartridge. Theodore Alevizos, a former WHRB Balladeer, has a wonderful recording of Greek folksongs on Prestige International, whereon he is accompanied by Rolf Cahn and Susan Alevizos. Rolf Cahn and Eric Von Schmidt have an album on Folkways...
