Back to New Zealand Symphony Orchestra 1942-43 World War II I have very fond memories of having sat in the control room on Sunday nites with the engineer Bob Bothamely watching & listening to the broadcast of the symphony orchestra at 2YA. I was a USNavy hospital corpsman stationed with the US Marines at Pohatoanue (?)(spelling). This was my introduction to classical symphonic music and I still like it today even though I am in my 80's.
