Living in the hustle and bustle of the modern world, one would give much to just sit and listen to these songs, in their original form. Now, there is a group of interested persons who have come forward to enable us do just that... sit and listen to the songs of these maestros of yesteryear. In addition, Hindi and Tamil songs are preserved on CDs and group songs too are preserved for posterity. Thomas Alva Edison first gave the world a machine to store the sounds of the voice and broadcast them in 1887. The songs and music of yesteryear are so lyrical and melodious that the present generation can learn many lessons from them.
