[78-L] PLAYING DISCS WET

[David Lennick]

I prefer to be dry when playing discs..however, if you insist:

Handel's Water Music
Sleepy Lagoon
Drip Drip Drip (Spike Jones)
Bloop Bleep (Danny Kaye, Woody Herman or the great Frank Loesser himself)
Umbrella Man
Swimmin' With the Women (George Formby)
He Played His Ukulele As The Ship Went Down (Ambrose or Jack Hylton)
