They will be the NLm- ber One Folk Group in 1964. The only dif- ference is that this year Folk is the hottest thing in the business. The Kingston Trio will be Number One in the Number One Field. The Trio's latest single is "Last Night

I Had The Strangest Dream" b/w "The Patriot Game" (5132).

It's headed straight for LIU/ 10,41 the very top of the charts, and it comes out of their "Time To Think" album. Then think about these:

Dear Mr. Adams:

For fifty years the musical creations of the members of the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers have enriched the cultural life of all Americans.

The talented writers who are members of your organization have made a radiant contribution to the musical culture of our nation. Your membership has included such outstanding talent as John Philip Sousa, Irving Berlin, Victor Herbert, Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein. Their gifts have become the proud possession not alone of Americans but also of all peoples around the globe. . As Americans we pride ourselves on the freedom and independence of our creative artists. Your society has played a conspicuous role in fostering the atmosphere which permits creative people to work most effectively and to find greater reward for their artistic achievements.

I am most happy to extend to all the members of ASCAP my sincere congratulations on the significant milestone in the history of your society.

4 Sincerely,

Mr. Stanley Adams President American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers 575 Madison Avenue New York, New York

Throughout my career, I have heard a lot about ASCAP's service to writers C. in tiding them over the lean years. This, of course, is only natural. ASCAP does provide us with something like an insur- J ance annuity. If a writer has had some success and then goes into a dry spell, he knows that ASCAP's system of deter- mining payments by averaging perform- 1 ances over a period of years will provide - him with means to carry on his work.

GROWING UP WITH AN ACROSONIC : Opening chord to a richer life l

Learning and teaching are a joy with the Acrosonic, Baldwin's petite piano with the look of fine music. Every Acrosonic has the qualities sought by discriminating piano purchasers ... sensitive response to even the tentative touch of the beginner, a reputation for tonal excellence with those who know, l exquisite style and finish. An Acrosonic piano is an enduring and rewarding investment in your child and in music: - Yr . BALDWIN Official Piano and Organ, ORGANS New York World's Fair 1964-65.

Music is performed and loved across America primarily because of the devoted efforts of music edu- cators. The child rejoicing in his first musical accomplishment, the famous artist playing the Baldwin Grand in concert-both are the product of someone's dedication to the art of piano instruction. And so are the audiences of millions whose appreciation of music has been heightened by musical training. The contribution of music educators to America's love of music and the civilized values it represents is beyond measuring. ASCAP, too, contributes to a fuller appreciation of America's rich musical heritage. 24 .BILLBOARD 33 FEBRUARY 29, 1964 ASCAP .Grows With U. S.

You can count on Rock -Ola for design simplicity! A firm grip on profits depends on fast, easy servicing, long-term dependability. Which is our big reason for telling you about our "snap -in" needle cartridge. It isn't a new Rock -Ola feature. It isn't even the kind of feature most people would shout about ... with so many other big features we look to could talk about. But it illustrates a very important point: that no matter how "insignificant" a single 1' Íj ROC K -OLA operative feature may seem, we've given it the same for consideration we'd give, for example, to rebuilding advanced the entire phonograph. If we can eliminate "nuts products and bolts," we do it. If we can eliminate "spaghetti tar wiring" and improve a component by making it entirely mechanical, we do that, too. profit Take our Mech-O-Matic changer. It lets you mix 331/2, 45 rpm, stereo, monaural, and now even 7" LP records in any sequence, any bank of records ... with no use cf wires or complicated mechanisms. It's so simple, so entirely TT, 11, mechanical, you'd probably have to see it to believe it! We could tell you more ... much more about the simplicity of V . u

design ... the dependability ... the fast, easy servicing of kio. re . e our new phonographs. But why not see them all ... the Rock -Ola _ `1 Rhapsody II and Capri II, now at your Rock -Ola distributor's! 62 BILLBOARD FEBRUARY 29, 1964
