...second, it rarely makes sound musical sense-and heard apart from the film, it seldom makes sense at all. Except for a few haunting cases such as Forbidden Games, Black Orpheus, Limelight, movie scores are usually forgotten together with their movies, despite the recent proliferation of sound-track LPs...
...honest-to-God instruments, and now, after 30 years' obscurity, it has returned as a rebellion against the formality of Bluegrass-which itself was exhumed only two or three years ago. Both Kweskin's band and New York's Even Dozen Jug Band have highly successful LPs on the market, and the demand for kazoos in Greenwich Village, where Kweskin's group played at the Bitter End, is as great as it is in Boston. Kweskin, a 23-year-old combist, got the band together for fun last winter, but now, with a nightclub booking...
...pianistic wizardry that has followed him, he seems even more-a musician among pianists, an artist among musicians. Of his many great recordings, the chef-d'oeuvre is his collection of all 32 Beethoven sonatas, here handsomely presented in a handsomely annotated edition of 13 LPs for the handsome price of $77.98.

He prefers a dinner of his favorite Pichelsteiner, a sort of Bavarian stew, after which he likes to sit in his black leather chair, looking at documents or playing cards with Luise. While he is reading, Erhard almost always has a stack of classical LPs on the record player: Beethoven, Schubert, Mozart, Chopin. A fair pianist himself -he once hoped to become a conductor -he tolerates nothing modern. His watchword: ''Not one step beyond Strauss" (he means Richard, not Franz Josef). As he listens, he sips a long, cool Scotch and soda...
Whimsy & Butterflies. So far, Heebner has recorded 46 Welte artists and gleaned from the rolls enough music to fill 40 LPs. He still has 60 artists unrecorded. Having despaired of distributing the records through major labels because of their inevitable involvement-with discount sales, Heebner plans to sell his albums by mail order-twelve LPs a year in editions of 5,000 priced at an unvarying $12.50 each. For openers, three LPs in a handsome package will be offered to Book-of-the-Month Club members this week at $17.95 for monaural and $19.95 for stereo...
