I've had all the songs lying around for years, I tried to do a similar project about 10 years ago but never finished it. The 1930s songs are a bit of a minefield, simply because of the way the music industry operated back then. There are multiple contemporary versions of many of the songs on ATGB. That was my stumbling block when I attempted this before. I may gloss over that album... for now.

With a couple of bonus tracks thrown into the mix. I guess there's some debate about the original of Amazing Grace. I've opted for a non-bagpipe version. http://8tracks.com/simongmusic/taxi-the-originals Enjoy.
