Radio Programmes
Sir,—It seems a pity, that folk arc in general so unable to take criticism in some semblance of forbearance. Whether the 3ZR session in question was above criticism or not has become a secondary point. No production, radio or otherwise, is there but such as should benefit by criticism ,and criticism should be welcomed, not treated as a public offence. Equally, of course, criticism should be presented in a courteous fashion. Satire and personalities make poor reading and are cheap and unimpressive. All who have real knowledge of music and its laws—for, yes, music has laws—vouch for the tragic decline in public taste, musically, to such an extent that much modern popular production is now on a scale suitable for natives of the African jungle. . . Had “Marsden Roadite’s” criticism been in more level terms I would liked to have endorsed his remarks. The hoary old tag “That the radio has nobs that you can turn off” is silly and beside the point.—Yours, etc ’ WATTIE. Greymouth, Sept. 29.
