No poem today. I am going to muse for my own amuse-ment. Don't you long for the days of the wonderful old songs about love and romance and moon and stars and whatever? I have a book I ordered recently called "The Sheet Music Reference and Price Guide". This book contains the names of most all the pop songs written for the last century or more. Let me share a few titles with you and when the song was written, if available.We've come a long way baby?
