ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses articles about the history or philosophy of the recorder societies in three English-speaking countries (Australia, Great Britain, and the United States). It excludes news items about the activities of these societies (which are of course frequently found in their respective publications). 2081. Wyatt, Theo. “Is the Grass Greener on the Other Side?” Recorder and Music
Magazine 8, no. 7 (September 1985): 212-13. Compares the the American Recorder Society with the Society of Recorder Players
(SRP, based in the U.K.), largely on the basis of financial resources and costs to members. Since members of the SRP often donate their services to the society, costs are low compared with their sister society in “that affluent land.” Similar arguments appear in a letter from Wyatt in American Recorder 26, no. 4 (November 1985): 183.
