[78-L] Fw: Promotion: President Special

[RAY KILCOYNE]

The group Chicago did a song called HARRY TRUMAN which should be easy to 
find, if you have any extra time.  I have it if you can't find a copy.  I'm 
afraid I don't remember what the song was all about, but I'm sure someone 
will.

Here's the playlist for Friday's "President Special" on my weekly light
music show on Swedish Radio.
About one third of the recordings were first issued on 78 rpm.
About two thirds of the songs are from the 78 rpm era.
