Re-connecting with Fred.
I have just been listening to Classics to Cavallaro. Great selection Fred.
Did you know that Richard Crooks recorded a vocal version of a theme from "Gipsy Airs" on a 78rpm HMV 10", called "Gipsy Moon". I treasure it as legacy from my late father. I would appreciate hearing from you at solzum@gmail.com
