How do I find songs and or artist on-line? Or, is there a site where I can look up old tunes and hear them? J.C.

Usually, anyone who runs a web site will register it with search engines and at some point the search engine spider bot will archive everything on the site. So, I would suggest typing the name of a particular song into google or dogpile, or if you are searching for songs yet unheard, try typing in various phrases like, "old songs out of print"," songs public domain", any number of combinations that best describe what information you desire. It does work. Sometimes people choose not to be found and that is possible too. Then word of mouth is necessary to get that address.

What Im lookung for is an old Eddie Rabbit tune. All I know about the song is Sonny Garrish played on it and it has the words country song and jukebox in the title (I think!). A friend of mine who's a steeler has been raving about the intro so, I thought I'd try to find it. Thnaks J.C.

Well, he had a hit song back in the 80s I think called Two Dollars In The Jukebox. If that's it you'll need to either purchase download it or see if someone can send you the intro as an mp3.

or you could become a member of Rhapsody Music service for $9.99/month and have access to millions of tunes that you can listen to . From there you can download them or record the tunes as you are listening to them with software or an external device such as a small MP3/Wave recorder, actually any recorder. My take is Rhapsody is a real value.I record tunes all the time from the PC to my MP3/Wave recorder, then burn CD's from there.
