    To pass the time at Mom's nursing home, I play for her and her friends but I did not have songs from their generation until I got this book. They know them all!

  • February 18, 2013 Old Songs but Goodies

    This book is one that I ordered because of a few songs it contains. It has brought joy to my life since I can still manage the music without too much difficulty.
