The existing article was just a copy-paste job from the third search result on Google, so I did a little research and replaced it. More help is always appreciated. 67.171.100.105 19:08, 18 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I seem to recall hearing from somewhere that The Longines Symphonette orchestra would be broadcast late at night, why it is said not to rest. Is there a source anywhere?

I have no evidence but my memory, but I believe that the opening theme for the program was "Love's Dream After the Ball", by Czibulka. Cyril N. Alberga — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.29.206.179 (talk) 00:00, 8 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The Longines Symphonette is referenced in “Birdhouse in Your Soul” by They Might Be Giants. Should that be in the references somewhere? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.188.140.62 (talk) 19:00, 20 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

References

One of the references is to an article called "THE LONGINES SYMPHONETTE RECORDINGS Some Recollections by Angela Morley" but the current link points to a page that seems suspiciously like a SEO content farm, and I can't find that article on it anywhere, anyway. A little Googling turns up the original article under a different (but, oddly, a related-looking?) domain. I am going to change the link to point to the new domain so that it actually goes to the article in a single click. My strong suspicion is that the site might have moved domains, or maybe it had two domains and let one of them expire, and the expired one was replaced with contentfarm junk.
