Hi,
My name is Thijs, I am 62
years old, and I love the music from the ' 50 and ' 60. It was
1959 that I hear the song "sea of love" from Phil .For 45 years I have
this single, but I have buy for a year ago this song on 78rpm. have a
Seeburg 100A jukebox, and I turn this record every time, and I enjoy
like 1959.
For a couple of weeks ago,
I'm buzy to make biography/discography's from all the artist where I
have 78rpm records. I'm searchin on Internet for this, and I hope to
find also a portret of all my favorits. I have found two portrets from
Phil Phillips, but both are from many years later. FRIENDLY I will ask
you iff you can help me on a good portret of Phil Phillips. Phil's "Sea
of Love" is a song that is always on my mind.
I hope you can help me. With
friendly regards from the Netherlands, THIJS
