A musical review co-written by[[ Andrew Tracey]], [[Paul Tracey]] and [[Jeremy Taylor]] in 1961. A hugely successful show, which started with the songs for two musical reviews that played in Johanesberg and in Rhodesia in 1961. They then combined the best material into a single musical review called''Wait a Minim'', and found they had a hit on their hands. They went on to perform in ''Wait a Minim'' all over the world between 1962 and 1968 - including seasons in South Africa, Rhodesia, England, USA, Canada, New Zealand and Australia, and including 461 shows spanning more than a year on Broadway in New York. With over 50 instruments in the show, many of them African, Andrew Tracey helped educate the world about unique African instruments, including the kalimba. Andrew was on The Tonight Show with Johney Carson a number of times. This musical performance career put Andrew's ethnomusicology research on hold. | A musical review co-written by[[ Andrew Tracey]], [[Paul Tracey]] and [[Jeremy Taylor]] in 1961.
