appreciative Of the orchestra's work.

though purely orchestral, Mr.. Becker
departed from his rule of not giving

"Minuet" (strings) by Boccherini and
a part of the Ave Marie" by Bach
Gounod, in which the solo parts were
taken by viii Paarmann, violin, and

THE REAL STEP!
. BY Jim Nance

The dances they dance to the music
now days
Seem to change about steon times
a week.
It's been fox trot and tango and walk
in the dog,
And other odd trash, so to speak.
Take them one, take them all, there
is one that can't fall,
There's no ifs and no ands and no
maybe.
All daddys and mothers just use the
same step
When they're walking the floor
with the baby.
