The music of 1954 - 1955 |
||
| I am collecting music off the web that was popular in our senior year. The songs below are all sythesized and have no vocals, except for "Only You" by the Platters which requires Real Player. The ones I have so far are pretty good representations of the originals. There are others from our era that I have found that are not as good (I could have sythesized those just as well and I can't play music. I can't type either, but I'm faking it pretty well so far.). The music will open in a new page, use the Back button to return here. |
