Will write for songs!

[trinityofone]

I am trying to make a mix for my grandpa's 80th birthday of songs from the year he was born, 1927. Normally I would try to get these off of LimeWire or Acquisition, but because of something to do with my router, I think, neither of them is working and I am so frustrated right now, my walls are all in danger of having my fist put through them. So instead, I beg: does anyone have any of these songs or are you capable of getting one/some of them for me? (Original versions are preferred, but I'll take ANYthing, really.) If you can help me, I'd be happy to write you a drabble or ficlet based on a prompt of your choice. I just really want to be able to make this mix happen!

Thank you so much! *takes calming breaths and drinks tea*

ETA: Thanks so much to everyone who's provided songs so far! As _inbetween_ wisely suggested, here's what's left:

*Dew-Dew-Dewey Day
*He Loves and She Loves
*Let a Smile Be Your Umbrella
*Let's Kiss and Make Up
*Lindbergh (Eagle of the U.S.A.)
*My One and Only
*Side by Side
*Soon
*Thinking of You
*Thou Swell

ETA2: Songs on this list work, too! I almost have enough for a full mix! Thanks so much, you guys!

Have you tried this site: gomusic.ru? If you can't get any of those to work either, I could download some later tonight for you!

I'll give that a shot, although seriously, I am having one of those days where NOTHING WORKS. But thanks for the suggestion; I appreciate the help!

*delurking to say*

I'm -sure- I have Ol' Man River, but not positive on what version. Also pretty sure I have some version of 'S Wonderful. If you'd care to drop me a line, I'd be happy to try and help!

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

People already leapt in with those, but thank you anyway! (You can still give me a prompt if you want.)

Here's Hoagy Carmichael's version of "Stardust".

Thanks, you're wonderful! Please feel free to prompt me! =)

I emailed Old Man River to you, but here's the link just in case.

I don't know if it's from the OBC (probably not) but the guy does have a great voice. I've got "Ain't She Sweet," too, but it's the Beatles version--do you still want it?

[sweetvalleyslut.livejournal.com]

Here's that one and "S'Wonderful" as sung by Ella Fitzgerald, since you're panicking.

Thank you so much! Yeah, my e-mail isn't cooperating today either—I didn't get the song or my LJ comment notifications...

But this is all fab. Please feel free to request a ficlet!

Oh, cool, Paul Robeson! My dad loves him, and he played a semi-crucial part in a doc he did about Edward Bieberman. (Bieberman was a L.A. painter who did Robeson's portrait, and whose brother was one of the Hollywood Ten—Robeson was also blacklisted.) Perfect!

[chele74.livejournal.com]

I know I have a bunch of these (though I have no idea about versions). I'll look tonight, but feel free to bug me if I forget.

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

That'd be great, thank you! I think I'm gonna end up just doing an "any version" mix—the other's way too complicated.

Thank you so much! Please feel free to prompt away! =)

Just uploading Blue Skies for you now...

Here's a bunch: http://tuffgirl.slythindor.org/music/trinityofone/

I'm adding more as I dig them up. =)

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

You're amazing! Thank you so, so much! Please, please—prompt away! =)

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

Thank you, that's great! (The Royal Canadians, woot!) Pleas feel free to prompt!

I've got Ella's "How Long Has This Been Going On" and perhaps another not-yet-posted on, but I've got to check another HD.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_inbetween_/]

PS: maybe you could copy-paste the titles and cross out those you already got.

What a sweet thing to do for your grandfather! I've got a couple of songs that don't seem to have been uploaded yet:

Sometimes I'm Happy (Sometimes I'm Blue) (http://www.box.net/shared/f8r9nmyph1)
Duke Ellington - The Peanut Vendor (http://www.box.net/shared/3e41lmm25s)
Perez Prado - El Manisero (The Peanut Vendor) (http://www.box.net/shared/ikiu4bkemb)

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I really hope he liked it. And thank you so much for the songs! Please prompt if you wish!

Ella's "How Long Has This Been Going On"

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much! Please prompt. (And I'm working on that list!)

[anjak-j.livejournal.com]

This page might be helpful for some other songs for the compilation...

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

Awesome, thank you! And I think I have an idea how to do the Sheppard/Lorne thing, too...

[inthekeyofd.livejournal.com]

Okay, which ones do you still need, because I may have some, and I may have some that aren't on the list from that year too.

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

I don't have any of the not-crossed-out ones in the first ETA in the OP. And also, I just found a list of others (also linked). Any of those would be great, thank you so much for offering!

You can listen to it in the flash player, and then just choose the file to download.

Thank you so much! Please feel free to request something.

I'm on dial-up, so I can't be much help. But get someone to go to rhapsody.com and sign up for free. You can get something like 15 songs a month. It's streaming so they'll have to have audacity (http://audacity.sourceforge.net) or another program that can record. They've got Let's Kiss and Make Up (Ella Fitzgerald or Fred Astaire), Thinking of You (Eddie Fischer), My One and Only (Ella or Fred again) and probably some of the others too. (No Lindbergh or Dew-Dew-Dewey though.)

[twisted-vergule.livejournal.com]

From the second list...

Paul Whiteman's Orchestra (w/Bix Beiderbecke) doing

Hope this helps
