Buxtehude: Organ Music (Carl Weinrich, organist; Musicraft, 8 sides). As a young man, Bach tramped 200 miles on foot to hear Dietrich Buxtehude play the organ. Some of the old master's music, here superbly played by Princeton's famed organist, shows some of the reasons why. Recording: good...

In his training camp at an amusement park overlooking a pond, Jersey Joe (real name: Arnold Cream) likes to sneak off to his room and play the phonograph, singing along with his favorite Ink Spots and Savannah Churchill records.

This book flopped, too, and Carnegie decided that instead of borrowing from, or acting like others, "you must play your own little instrument in the orchestra of life." Out of the depths of his heart and personal experience, he drew How to Win Friends and Influence People. Today, wiry, white-maned Dale Carnegie is one of the world's richest authors and most famous men. He has recovered...
