Hi Jim et al.
My Vol. 2 verse of "Olga" is transcribed from the record. I didn't find
sheet music.

My note right under the title cites the record. Regular users will,
hopefully, have picked up on my documentation method, to wit when my
sources are mixed, I specify when I use the "book notes", etc.
