Thanks for the info...
Amazing that 16 hits by Kay Kyser, have Never been reissued, nor is availablein any format today. A crying shame for one of America's most beloved bandleaders...
As you know we don't have any music files here, but have you looked on archive.org? They have quite a lot of pre 1950 material on their site, in particular
https://archive.org/details/KayKyser250Songs
Of course that may still be in copyright in your country.
