Hi all, how good are you at finding stuff on the Internet?

I know this old couple & one of their parents (about 100 years old) loved this old song called "The Volunteer Organist". But she can't remember the words or tune very well any more.

I've found the lyrics but I'm not doing to well audibly. The best I can do is a sample (track 20 here): http://www.amazon.com/gp/recsradio/radio/B000000WUI/ref=pd_krex_listen_dp_img?ie=UTF8&refTagSuffix=dp_img

Can any of you boys & girls do any better & find a full length recording that can be listened to for free & without any awkward downloading type shenanigans...

Windows Media Player should let you burn a CD from an MP3 file.

Hmm it says:

"It is not possible to burn this file because all of the files have errors or are missing burn rights."

It let me burn it OK. Is she in a rush? If you like, I could burn a collection of the Peter Dawson stuff from that site and post it to you if you PM me your address.
