Reading Experience:

Evidence:
'Stanley sent me a wonderful book of Gollanzc ?The Musical Companion? edited by Bacharach. Did you meet Bacharach ever? Perhaps not. He was one of the ?New Age? crowd I met in the wonderful Easter Week of 1917 ? just before we went to France. He is at the London Schl of Econ: now, but then he seemed to be just doing journalism and a bit of W.E.A. work. This book is jolly for me. Its just a straightforward manual of music ? and fills in all the gaps of one?s knowledge that get in the way when trying to listen intelligently.'
