Description

Magazine caption: Damming the Niagara with toothpicks or emptying the ocean with a thimble would be about as easy a task as trying to cultivate a genuinely musical taste with the kind of opposition represented in the above picture. Probably Tommy's parents are spending their hard earned money for his music lessons and are wondering why it is that he fails to develop a love for the works of the great masters. This picture speaks louder than words and it is to be hoped that those who ought to see it will not be denied that opportunity.
