Mixed Bag for Record. Arranged by Arthur Nitka.
Lots of popular tunes in here. Which don’t sound particularly good played by themselves on the recorder. I’d like to know more about Arthur Nitka. I see two books by him on eBay et al, but no wikipedia entry. There is an census record for someone who may have been him. But he seems too old. To pursue the trail or not.
Status: Sigh.

Alt-Title: Untitled Song Book No. 180 for Arthur
The usual thanks to Richard and John for inspiring this Alt Title venture. And to Ben for the “jokes” format.
I remember we had to play those horrible flutes when we were in primary school. I wonder who the hell came up with that idea?!?
“Let’s make the children play flute”.
What a wanker…
🙂 I know – a bit tortuous!
Like the style of this book – it almost makes playing recorder look cool, as if it was a jazz instrument (what a terrifying thought).
Terrifying indeed – parents everywhere would shiver at the thought.
