A message to all my good friends

Hi guys and dolls,

Welcome to my blog.

Here's where to post requests for the oldies.

My main bag is popular music from the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s.

I will do my utmost to fulfill all requests. MP3s only, at 320kb/s wherever possible - no "lossless" formats such as ape, ogg or flac.

Please post your requests in the comments box!

Hi mel
I'm just back from my father in law's funeral and I can see that the ScoreBaby Annex request pages have been deleted.
I am under the impression that there must be a new place where we can be all together again for the second time, but I do not know what to do to join. At least I would like to say words of thanks to all the people who offered their condolences before I left.
Let me take this opportunity to tell you that I was very touched by the nice and cheering words you said in that sad occasion. Thank you very much for your kind attention, and thank you to keep me posted regarding the place where we can meet again peacefully (what's presently happening to nomwl1's blog is absolutely horrible).
Cheers

Ah quinlan, we've all been waiting for you to show up. My condolences again for your sad loss.

We are all together again, over at isbum's place:

Yes, it's heartbreaking about nomwl1's blog. I'm most upset about it.

This message from isbum:

@ All - I think it would be most excellent of us to drop dear friend nomwl1 a get well wish. With all that is going on, I am certain this would be a tonic to his general health.

Write to:

nomwl2@yahoo.com

Talking about e-mails, perhaps you might like to keep in touch with me this way as one never knows what might happen next:

r.anlem@yahoo.co.uk

In your absence, something came to mind: if you don't have it, I'd like to share with you the complete Verve Charlie Parker With Strings. It's indispensable. I can put it here (pal), or over at isbum's, or send it by e-mail.

Thanks very much for contacting me.

Best regards.

Hi, Mel!

Just wanted to let you know that I've added your blog to my list of links!

Thanks for visiting Stax 'o Wax regularly - I'll do the same on your blog!

Hi Esther,

Thanks so much for coming by. I love your blog - you post a lot of stuff that I like and I visit Stax O' Wax just about every day.

I originally set up this tiny blog of mine so that I could comment on other people's blogs without being anonymous.

My aim now is to try to fulfill requests, as I have a large collection of all types of music from classical to modern jazz to "MOR" to old hit paraders and more.

So if you have anything that you've been looking for, I'd welcome your requests and I'll do my best to get them to you.

Thanks again and best wishes.

Hi Mel,

Can I ask, is there a chance you could upload the VIENNA HOLIDAY (Michel Legrand)

Because moodietunes hasn't posted for 2 years I would imagine that he may have given up.

If not can you contact him if possible and ask him to upload it again, I have left a comment on the blog, but I don't think somehow he will reply.

Hope to hear from you

Hi VR,

Unfortunately Vienna Holiday is a Michel Legrand album that I don't have, but I'll certainly keep an eye out for it - who knows what will crop up next?

Do you have an e-mail address for moodietunes? I don't know him; but if you can find one perhaps it may be worthwhile e-mailing him (or her).

Anyway, if I find the Legrand I'll be sure to let you know, so stay tuned!

I wish you a very Happy New Year.

Hey VR,

Guess what? I suddenly remembered that I have a box of old CD-Rs that I’ve been meaning to transfer to better quality media and I took a look and found the Michel Legrand - Vienna Holiday on one of them! I see that I burned the disc in August 2006; my face is red - I had totally forgotten that I had it. That’s what happens when one gets old… So sorry.

Anyway, I have re-upped it for you and here it is:

I’m afraid it’s only 128kbps (as was everything back then) and I don’t have any cover art for it but you can get a small image of the front cover here:

Enjoy!
