Who’s Who In Music
Although W. J. Nathan was the leading guitarist and singer on the All Blacks tour of Britain, his knowledge of classical music was rather limited, according to the manager of the team (Mr F. D.

Walsh explained that Chopin had been a well known musician—“someone like Howard Morrison.”
