Subject: vintage lyrics From: WriteFlyer Date: 10 Dec 99 - 09:27 PM My mom is 94 and used to sing in the Univ of Wash Glee Club in the 1920s. She's trying to find lyrics for songs whose titles she's lost. I know some words such as: "Here is the red of the rose you brought to me that night you stole into my hidden bower; Here is a verse of the song you taught to me and here's the gray of the dawn, our parting hour."(acapella harmony) Supposed to be symbolic of the colors in a Persian rug. Any suggestions ?: ? ? ? Not really folk, more camp or parlor songs. Thanks! tlowry@jps.net |

Subject: RE: Help: vintage lyrics From: Metchosin Date: 11 Dec 99 - 12:08 PM I tried the Levy Sheet Music Collection at John Hopkins University, sorry can't do a clikety blue thing, and Sheet Music at Duke University, but no luck. However if you know the first line in the song it might work better. Good Luck. |
