Hard Gum (To Find)
I'm a needy person . . . especially when it comes to bubblegum music. Just when I think I've heard it all I come across another song I've got to have or I get a song and it's in bad condition. What do I do? Why, I come up with a list like this! I'm asking -- oh, heck, I'm beggin' anyone who happens upon this page and has any of the songs listed (hopefully in good condition and digitally!) to e-mail me and we'll figure out a trade.
It's as simple as that!
Just print out a copy of this page and let the scavenger hunt begin!
