What is especially refreshing about this mini-encyclopedia of music is that Aliki "bookends" the mechanics and "hardware"- types of instruments, who's who of Western composers, time lines of jazz and pop music - with "software," placing music's emotional and social value into perspective for the child.
She shows how music is the background of everyday life, for example, with this definition, "Rhythm is a marching-band beat, a puffing-train beat, a beating-the eggs beat, a heart beat."
The book closes with a panoply of pictures demonstrating how music comforts and inspires, by helping people to relax, calm anger, cheer low spirits, and create or perform work.

 Ted Weems and His Orchestra More 1940 "Beat the Band" Shows
This relatively brief and sonically impaired album was cobbled together by Soundcraft from the orchestra’s popular radio broadcasts in 1940—41 (whose announcer, Garry Moore, later teamed on radio with the wonderful Jimmy Durante before hosting his own weekly television show, a series that introduced, among others, a young comedienne named Carole Burnett).
Maxwell, who may or may not have been a member of the orchestra at this time, doesn’t sing at all.
The orchestra sounds largely generic, and the album’s main points of interest are Tanner’s remarkable whistling (an art that seems almost to have vanished) and the early vocal development of soon—to—be superstar Perry Como.
