Results: *** Songs My Father Played for Me *** More of My Father's Favorites
Published on 10/25/2025
The sheet music for these songs is well worn and a sepia brown. My father often played them and sang the words happily. I have an LP of Percy Faith's greatest orchestrations and some CDs as well. I hope you enjoy these selections of Old Classics.
