That's ally coeds,
Reider and his 'rib music7
take New Yorkers by storm
Because eight years ago he
heard the mellow musical clink
of phehistoric rhinoceros bones,
Henry Reider, chief preparator of
the Nebraska museum, has just
returned from a trip to New York
where he appeared on Major
Bowes' amateur program,
"Strange as It Seems," and played
for Fred Waring and Donna Dae,
who appear with him above.
For strange as it seems, the
musical tones of the bones when
he held them in his hand gave
Mr. Reider the idea for a novel in
strument, the bonaphone, con
structed like t xylophone, with
bones for bars. The ribs used
have an exact pitch and a peculiar
tonal quality because of the metal
deposits which have accumulated
in them for thousands of years.
The bonaphone completed after
eight years of work, won Mr. Rei
der nationwide prominence when
he played it over local radio sta
tions. Robert Hicks, of "Strange
as It Seems," invited him to play
the new instrument over his na
tionwide "oddities" hookup, and
Mr. Reider went to New York.
"Rib music" fascinates.
The vertebrae paleontologist so
fascinated New York by his "rib
music'' that he was asked to play
on Major Bowes amateur pro
gram, and with 1,200 other ama
teurs went through the endless au
ditions until he was named as one
of the nine to appear last Thurs
day night on the amateur pro
gram. Completely captivated by the
glamor of the big city Reider was
"bothered to death by interviewers
and the thousands of questions
people asked him."
However many the trials of be
ing famous, Mr. Reider thinks it
had its compensations, for he was
allowed to do some work in the
American museum of Natural His
tory in New York, and one after
noon he played his instrument in
a private concert for Dr. Roy
Chapman Andrews and members
of the museum staff.
While in New York, he also
dropped into the Fred Waring
headquarters and played the bona
phone for Mr. Waring and Donna
Dae, formerly of Lincoln.
Nice peoplt.
People were awfully nice to
him, modest and unassuming, Mr.
Reider thought, and he met a
great many celebrities. "Major
Bowes is a wonderful man and
has a great sense of humor," says
Mr. Reider. "And another thing,
he takes just as much care of the
little men as the big ones. I wasn't
scared a bit when I was on the
air. I didn't even think about any
thing else but just what I was do
ing." Very much impressed by the
huge studios of the Columbia
Broadcasting system was Mr. Rei
der, who said they seemed won
derful to him.
He met Metropolitan opera star
Richard Crooks when he was a
guest on the Firestone program,
and also "a lot of actresses but
I can't remember any of their
names."
All in all, though it was nice
to be in New York and see every
thing, Mr. Reider is pretty glad
to be back to Morrill hall and its
familiar fossils, for, says Mr. Rei
der, "People in the east are in an
awful rush, and if you don't keep
up with them, they step on you."
