Thanks ILoveJenni47 for replying. I cut my teeth on tenor music when I was seven years old and listened to Richard Tauber sing 'Goodbye" from the White Horse Inn on an old antique gramaphone.WW2 had just ended a couple of years back. We had no electricity on our dairy farm. I now sing for an aged care establishment every second Tuesday and concentrate of the old songs with meaning and melody....take care...

@garyfernbay1 Thanks for helping to keep the beautiful music alive.

This man has a beautiful voice and I remember him singing in the 50-60s.Particularly

Cara Mia... we didn't hear all of his music here in Australia at the time and I'm grateful that you have recorded them. Mario Lanza was played more often however you can't compare them..each are brilliant..cheers

@garyfernbay1 I agree, both are two of the greatest singers we have ever had.

Great voice, I have most of his records and enjoy them often. I was lucky to meet and talk to David when he performed at the Canadian Navy base in the mid 60's. He sings with such feelings but I feel many people did not appreciate it.
