A Microphone Medley of Twenty Years Ago
Arranged by LESLIE BAILY
This is no history book-just a scrapbook of cherished fragments. We pick and choose, laying a pleasing oddment beside the quaint choice of a moment ago. A voice from the past. A joy. A sorrow. This oddness, this variety, these strange juxtapositions are the fascination of a scrapbook. Turn the page! Whatever next! These were our yesterdays, these treasured memories ... memories.
