I have traveled to Australia many times and was able to buy the "Bandstand Sweethearts" CD with the songs "Someday Soon" and "I need You" however, I would love to get a hold of any other items available such as recordings of the show, tv appearences ect... If you should have any of these items or have any information that could help us in our search it would be greatly appreciated.... Love and miss her dearly...If anyone reading this comment should have any info or knew my mother please contact me @ aussiestorage@yahoo.com
