Old Songs At My Web Site
By Brian Thornton

George Bogatko's RealAudio file of "Old King Tut" and Jim Canavan's
comments have inspired me go forward on an idea I've been kicking around
for some time.

Since I was eight years old I have collected all types of recorded
media.  My main interest has been in humorous, social commentary, and
risque songs, tear-jerkers, etc.  The range goes from mid-1700s to
mid-1930s.  I have always enjoyed and looked for ways to share all this
with others, and also learn more about what I have.

The WWW gives me an excellent avenue in which to do this.  Every two
weeks my page will showcase a selection from my collection of piano
rolls, sheet music and recordings.  If anyone has any history or
information to share concerning a particular selection I feature, I
would be grateful.  See

I had originally intended to kick this off with a *double entendre*
song from the 1940s; "I Took My Organ To The Party".  I already have
"King Tut" by Jones and Hare (the same Blue Amberol that Jim was
referring to) in RealAudio format.  We'll do 'Tut' for now and save the
*other* for next time.  So please enjoy 'em, collect 'em, trade 'em !
