  3. I would like to ask one thing, since I'm a bit confused: you say that there is an access to over 12,000 songs if you click the link below, but I'm not able to find more than handful of files. Am I missing something?

  4. I have slightly more than 12,000 recordings in my collection, but I don't post all of them at once— that would be impossible!

    Instead, I choose ten to twelve main selections every month (hence the name "Pilsner's Picks"), and there are also several specialized folders that don't change very much, except for an occasional addition.

    Also, I'm open to special requests if you're looking for a particular tune or artist. For that, e-mail me at:

    metoikos@email.com

    The only rule on requests is that they have to be from before 1950, and not by any living performers.

    I hope that clears things up,

    Pils

  5. Hey Pils,

    Fantastic. Now I have this bookmarked this is much more accessible than MySpace. And how spooky, this is the 2nd time today I've seen the song title Who Walks In When I Walk Out - a song I had not heard of before. The other version I heard is by a Seattle band Miss Rose & her Rhythm Percolators who are on the aforementioned MySpace

    Cheers

  10. Thanks for the comment on the wallpaper, since I designed the page myself and I'm no expert at HTML. It just happened to turn out well after some experimentation.
