Dear friends,
Listmate Ross Anderson (leader of the New Melbourne Jazz Band) has asked me
for a list of motor car (automobile) songs.
The following is all I could find from a quick memory check.
I am sure that many of you can come up with lots more.
The problem is, having compiled a list, Ross will probably want lead sheets
and/or examples of the songs.
Go to it girls and boys!
Kind regards,
Bill.
