There's always a certain sense of intimacy between George Shearing and his audiences. It's as though you are sitting on stage next to George's piano - whether he's performing with his quintet in a nightclub, or with a symphony orchestra. George knows how to tailor his music for his audiences. And he knows how to select the right microphones. For many years Shure microphones have been a part of every George Shearing performance. (In fact, George appeared in the first Shure star testimonial ad 14 years ago.) That's a long time to share billing with a star, but George wouldn't have it any other way.

We're America's favorite airline to the music capitals of America. With the only through plane service between Nashville and Los Angeles or San Francisco. And the most nonstop and through plane service between Nashville and New York.

We also do a lot of nice things to make flying just a little better than you expect it to be. For example, when you get to the airport, we speed you on your way with curbside check -in for the luggage you check through. And X -Ray machines for the luggage you carry on. We also take care to safely transport bulky props, delicate sound equipment and musical instruments. On transcontinental flights there's no lack of care, either. You get the comfort of a big 747, DC -10 or 707. The usual things like wines, cor- dials and cocktails. And a choice of three entrees on all lunch and dinner flights. And unusual things like hot towels and after -dinner mints. On our 747's and DC -10's you can reserve a table for four in First Class. And enjoy roast beef carved to order right before your eyes. We're doing the most we can do to make We'll give you music accompaniment. Every- your trip a pleasant one. thing from country -western to classical.

Paul Anka has not only made that transition, he has established himself as one of music's major contributors. From "Diana" in the beginning, to "My Way" for Sinatra and "Johnny's Theme" for The Johnny Carson Show, Paul Anka has been writing standards. His latest are on his new album, "Anka." Including "You're Having My Baby." "ANKH: On United Artists Records and Tapes.
