Crankin' It Up: WWI Commemorative Edition





The Great War was in its last few days ninety years ago; here are a couple more popular songs from those days. 'Till We Meet Again' was very popular, and could be found in nearly every record cabinet. My disc of 'I'm Crazy Over Every Girl In France' has been in my collection for about forty years, and this is the first time I have listened to it. It was well liked, because it is very worn. I had to play both of these records with a soft tone needle to reduce the hiss, and move the microphone in close, so you will hear the spring rumble a bit. The slide show is made up of some of our sheet music collection.
