Bob, I want to go to the Valley of the MOON, that magical place where lovers meet. I love the song, the romantic lyrics, the vocal and the beautiful sheet music.

Thank you so much.

I actually had two choices on this one but went with this one.

Never heard of here but my grandparents had a lot or recordings by Henry Burr..........too bad sound wasn't improved until the '20's - some of these stars voices would have been much better.

There is an electric recording on my channel with her singing with Franklyn Baur. The song is Normandy. There are also other acoustical recordings on my channel with her in them too.
