| | Finding Old Music... | | I have been looking for some old songs... I mean really old songs for a very good friend of mine. My friend is 88 years old, and his birthday is coming up soon. He loves the songs from the 1930's and 1940's especially, but these are often difficult for me to find.He loves to sing karaoke, so I have been getting him several of the karaoke ones together as well, but I would also love to get him some of the originals. Does anyone have any suggestions whether for the karaoke versions or the originals? | |
