McHenry Open Nights Starting Dec. 5th Till 9:00 Sundays 10:00 'Musical dreams' come true on Christmas day Many Americans harbor a secret wish -- the desire to play a musical instru­ ment. For many of these daydreamers, this wish can come true this Christ­ mas. J Under hundreds of ever­ greens this year will be pear-shaped packages containing a guitar, banjo, ukulele or even a mando­ lin. Fretted instruments are among the most popu­ lar gifts for teens as well as grown-ups, and are second =only to keyboard in the number of amateur participants. According to the Guitar and Accessory Manufac­ turers Association, there are more than 7,000,000 Americans plucking away regularly on a guitar or one of its musical rela­ tives. And its appeal tran­ scends all age levels and musical abilities. Unlike other categories of musical instruments, the guitar and its kin are relatively easy to learn to play. If your ear is keen you may be able to pick out a turn right away. With a lesson or two in a group it's easy to accom­ pany a family caroling session. Fretted strings have the added advantage of being social as well as private instruments, that is, you can play them in a group or for a group, and enjoy them just as much when you're playing by and for yourself. For the millions of ama­ teur musicians who al­ ready own a guitar, music stores carry a variety of accessory items from picks (for under $1) to sheet music (under $3) to straps, cases and even full ampli­ fication equipment (up to several thousand dollars). In addition to the ac­ tual instrument, the gift of music brings with it a joy and enjoyment that cannot be put into a box and tied with a ribbon. It will be a gift that will continue to be enjoyed throughout the years to come and will increase as the music-maker de­ velops his skills and shares them with family and friends. Music is a present that brings enjoyment to both the recipient and the giver. Thousands of Americans will be discovering this in their own families as those odd shaped packages are unwrapped and put into use as part of the holiday fun. New activity toy TWISTS AND TURNS, stops and goes, over a bridge and a cross-river ferry ride are the activities Ideal has built into its new Bridge and Ferry set. But the heart of this toy is a tiny school bus equipped with a friction motor adaptation that supplies the power for all the things it does. No bat­ teries, nothing to wind. Just a child's push.
