A nice presentation of music, both traditional and contemporary. Very pleasant to watch. The recording is a kinescope, but a very good one. The NET closing ident at the end is also a nice bonus. The item description mentions Indiana University, however the closing credits indicate this was produced for the New York State Education Department by WNDT, now known as WNET.
