This brought to my mind an- other man. He is dead now, but he too lived alone for many years, and I really believe he would have died sooner if he had had mot an old reed organ on which to pass his time away. It wasn't that he was much of a player, but he was always trying to play something different, or contrasting the in- terpretation of musical numbers he heard someone else play with his own interpretation. I know he used to buttonhole me occasion- ally, and 1 could not get away until he had explained his own ideas as to how a piece should go. It was alright too. He was expert on plsam chanting. You know, folks, we don't know how to rélax. There are hundreds of pianos and organs which are nothing more than a hat rack or a piece of furniture. They are just never played. If the owners would just take a notion occas- ionally to try and play some of the simpler songs and hymns, yes, and sing a little bit, it would make a lot of difference to their lives: If any of you who read this column (bless you) are in | | [-- ter for the use.

The family might think it very strange, but they'll get used to it. 1 have known, and still know, one or two of the busiest minds who find music a great relaxa- tion. One often wonders there isn't a case of strangulation amongst them, the way they tighten up their throats to sing. They go almost blue in the face reaching for the high ones, and prespiration rolls down their fore- heads, but the main thing is, that they enjoy it. These impromptu concerts or recitals are wonder- ful relxation.
