Legally. Not downloading them or anything. Just to listen to in real time. Ever had one you could not find and listen to on demand? I haven't.

I can find every one I can ever think of. Never missed yet. Listening to "Dishwalla - Counting Blue Cars", right now. Google it. You can listen to it too.

Anyone ever notice that?

6. I have found every one I looked for sometimes with pretty sketchy info

The least info I ever had:

I heard a song one single time in the eighties. Never heard it again but it haunted me. By the time I got a computer and started searching for it all I could recall were two words "fedora" and "uncle." I found it and I could listen to it twenty times a day and not get tired of it. "A Fine, Fine Day" by Tony Carey.

Nowadays, with UTube everything is available. What a wonderful world this internet has given us.

7. Listening to it right now and it brings back memories
Had an uncle like Sonny(dead now), back then. He had the fedora and all. He drove my mother nuts too.

8. I have
There is a song from the early 60's called "Kon Tiki" by The Islanders that my mom used to dance to, and I can't find it. Also, when my dad was in college he was a country music DJ, and he sometimes brought 45's home. One of my favorites was a song called "A Handful of Dimes," can't remember the artists. I can't find that either. I was really pleased to find a few songs from Los Indios Tabajaras a few years ago, though.
