My love for music has been lifelong—now I'm just trying to share some of my collected favorites with all who might enjoy. However, unless there are some other considerations involved I normally don't upload music that is already available on YouTube in quality format (stereo, etc.). I've tagged my uploads into categories of: — Al Caiola (Fantastic arrangements !) — Christmas (That's my brother dressed as Santa) — Contemporary (Tomorrow's Treasures) — Enoch Light (Fantastic arrangements !) — Forgotten Treasures — Guitar (Much more to come) — Jukebox Classics (50s & 60s) — Pairs (Different versions of the same song) — Reflections (Gospel & Spiritual) — Timeless (Old standards that will never die) — Keep those cards & letters coming to let me know what you like ! — BTW: I am indeed a "He". I explain to people that there have been a lot of girls named after me...I just don't mention all the ones that were named BEFORE me. —Someday Sweetheart By Chet Atkins & Les Paul
