As an 89 year old has been I can tell you that back as a teen ager nothing beat listening to the big bands on radio. I had a great collection of 78's and glen gray was one of my favorites on Decca. He originally recorded a song called "I'm Free" which later on became better known as "What's New". I would love to hear his instrumental version once more.

Hi Jen, I found the full movie in my usenet service. Hard to explain what that is, but I find a lot of films in there. I will watch this one in about a week. My little neice loves these films.

I think it's wonderful you are exposing your nieces to classic pieces from the past... Everyone loves the story of Alice, especially little girls - we all want to be Alice while we watch it.

[RainySundayEvening]

Ow yes, she is my little 5 year old buddy :) Little Red head with blue eyes. She loves those films. Right now she has a cold, and so do I lol! Every time she gets one and comes over here, she spreads it around, but ow well shes fun to be around. I never had kids so its fun watching her grow up and change. Hope all is well with you!
