My mom and sister are just playing the song "tum na jane kis jahan me kho gayen" on youtube. it reminded me of my father, who used to love this song. He had a great collection of 78 rpm songs. I remember my dad setting up the Gerard Record Player with seven records. The final one usually was Come September. We had many a great musical evenings. Some favorites include Dum Dum Diga Diga, Ruk ja o Jane wali ruk ja, hasta hua noo rani chehra, halke halke chala sawre, lau gaya gham ka zamana, namo venkatesa, tu kahe agar, nagh maye dil ko ched kar, and so on.
I miss you, dad!
