I was never a band geek because I just did not have the talent. My sixth grade trombone lessons lasted maybe a month and a half, and Miss Libbie, my piano teacher, refused to tech me after the first (and only) year of lessons. (I was also clumsy and uncoordinated so athletics was out, also.) But I always admired the band kids inn high school because they seemed to have a lot of fun.
I was a little bit too old in 1959 to be the target audience for this promotional comic book from Bundy Band Instruments, fine purveyors of school musical instruments. Plus, I was never a big Danny Kaye fan (was his nose actually as big as they have drawn it here?). And, to my everlasting non-concern, I have never seen The Five Pennies. Ah me, so many missed opportunities in my life...
I wonder if the target audience of this "Fun Book" for kids actually thought it was fun?
What do you think?
