No doubt light music is what most people prefer at
midday : hence, fi suppose, the predominance in the programmes of cinema and hotel music at that hour. Occasionally, we are given a little organ music for a change, or a ballad-concert of " The Little Grey Home in the West " variety. But why should not one wave-length be devoted, every midday, to a concert of good music ? I am reminded of the pleasure I have derived from the relays of the Manchester Tuesday Midday Society's Concerts (and the more recent Leeds University Midday Society's Concerts) which, when they find their way into the general programmes, do indeed shine like a good deed in a naughty world. * * * *
