Dear Marek (and others who can't hear Chisholm and others on those  
links above)

One way to have unlimited access to about 8 million songs is to join  
LaLa. You can listen to an entire song ONE TIME FREE.  Thereafter you  
are limited to hearing 30 second clips. All you do is register with  
the site, then type in the artist you want to hear e.g. George  
Chisholm and then click on the tunes that come up. It is FREE unless  
you want to buy an album or download a song from them. No need to  
collect records these days unless you are investing in a rare  
collection.  Just put the music into your computer at a much cheaper  
price.

Their website is:  http://www.lala.com/

If you don't want to get any other communications from them, you can  
use your spam blocker to block their messages. <grin>  All sorts of  
music on the site including Armstrong, George Chisholm, Nat Gonella  
(over 100 of his songs) etc,  and a whole bunch of musicians most of  
us have never heard of. etc. The site will keep a music lover busy for  
years. Once you join, they send you this:
