She's the one who speaks the language and would listen to the radio when my dad's not using it. She introduced many of these 40s songs to me. I think there're a lot of other ones in the same genre.<br /> <br />Not many people know these melodies except for people in our age group. I just wish some of our younger folks especially those who work at the museums, libraries and related industries would learn more about melodies by just listening and ENJOYING them. If there's interest there's always learning.<br /><br /> <br /><br />Again thank you.<br /><br /> <br /><br />Andy.ANDY: Pop Music Not Pills. ©https://www.blogger.com/profile/10946638825812052608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574244939174327228.post-26083354296194657642013-02-09T11:15:06.456+08:002013-02-09T11:15:06.456+08:00Hello Andy,
