So happy to find this, Little Orley and the Bubblegum was a favorite of mine
when I was a child. Now I can give it to my grandchildren. ~ J.S. 2-23-10
Got the Little Orley cd, and am very happy with it. Going to send it to my grand kids.
... thanks for the quick shipping and the great memories of my childhood! ~ P.H. 1-29-10
I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed the CD I recently purchased of
"More Little Orley Stories." For years I have been singing the "Happy Bird" song to my grandchildren,
and had given up hope of ever finding it's source (I am sure you know how many "hits"
you get when you google for it!). All I could remember was sitting on the floor near our radio as a small child
and laughing, not just at the song, but at the hilarious faces my father would make when singing it to me.
My grandchildren say I also look hilarious when doing the same.
You have truly brought back some beloved memories to me! Thanks. ~ B.H. 10-09-09
Thank you so much. I have been looking for the "Little Orly" stories for my mom for years
and I am so happy I came across your website. ~ D.W. 8-27-09
I can't believe the Little Orley series is actually available on CD! I wore out my 78 rpm records,
found two 33 LP albums in a discount bin in the 1960's (Decca Vocalion label)
and they are pretty scratched up from hard use.
I plan to introduce this remarkable children's series to my grandkids. ~ J.B. 8-17-09
Many thanks. My brother and I used to listen to the Little Orley records when we were kids,
and I had despaired that all there would be was old scratched records available.
I look forward to listening to them again in the new format.
Progress is a good thing! ~ C.S. 8-14-09
I remember Orley and shared him with my children. I just discovered in my archives,
two 78s of Orley and went online to see if by any chance they had been transferred to cds.
I can still recite most of the Haunted House. We also had the bubble gum, bull fiddle and the cricket.
How delighted I am to have the cds. I received the first volume a few weeks ago. I can't wait
to share them with my two grandsons. My 40-year-old children remember them
and can't wait to become reacquainted. Such fun. ~ J.K. 7-6-09
I am in possession of some very scratchy 78 rpm records that I would listen to as a child (I'm now 60).
I loved them so much that about 10 years ago I got them transferred to a CD,
but they were so scratchy that when I played them for my grandchildren it was hard for them to hear.
I was so excited to find you online and ordered the whole lot of stories, many of which I hadn't heard.
I'm going to see my grandchildren this weekend and am sure that they will enjoy them
as much as I did. Thank you!!! ~ L.M. 6-22-09
As a kid I would sit for hours and hours listening to Little Orley. I now have great grandchildren
and would like them to have that same experience. ~ J.P. 6-15-09
I have two original LP's from my childhood and I am 64. They are not in very good condition.
I actually remember listening to these records with an antique record player
that had to be cranked. My mom is 91 and I am ordering these for her. We have great memories. ~ B.S. 1-13-09
Thank you for the prompt shipment of my order. I bought this CD for a little boy across the street who is four.
I know his parents who are in their mid forties will also enjoy it. I got it because it had Little Orley and the Bubblegum on it.
I am in my early sixties and my brothers and sister enjoyed the Orley stories as kids on 78rpm records from a local thrift store.
I especially enjoyed Little Orley and the Bubblegum, Little Orley and the Bullfiddle and Little Orley and the Haunted House.
Thank you for keeping his spirit alive. They are fun and relaxing CDs to listen to. Have a Happy New Year. ~ S.K. 12-26-08
Thank you so much for carrying these. My grandparents still have the records my mom, aunt and uncle all listened to as did I.
I have so many snippets of Little Orlie stories that I STILL have memorized even though I have not heard them for a long time.
I am giving these as gifts to my mom and aunt as the records just don't play well enough anymore. Thank you, C.W. 11-25-08
This Little Orley CD brings back so many childhood memories of listening to stories on 78s
and I can now share them with my grandchildren. Thank you. ~ G.M. 9-22-08
I sure appreciate your rapid shipping and the fact that you have these old stories available. Regards, Jim 6-13-08
Thanks for bringing some fun and joy to the world. ~ B.A. 6-3-08
My son's favorite (record) when he was 5 ... was the "Happy Bird" and (it) was an old 78
that was mine when I was a child. He was heartbroken when he dropped the record
and of course it broke. He turns 37 this May and he is getting the Little Orley
for his birthday. Have been looking for 32 years to replace it. I still have
the original record in it's original jacket. Hope he will be pleased and surprised ~ L.S. 4-23-08
Thank you for your personal service - it's a treat! : ) Can't wait to get Little Orley,
which I remember well from my childhood... ~ K.D. 4-2-08
You can't imagine how delighted I am with this purchase. Would you believe a dream of half a lifetime?
I had this record when I was a child but my step-mom donated it to charity. When my sons were born,
I wanted them to hear this. I have checked many a charity shop hoping to find the record. I never
dreamed there was a web site. My sons are now grown but I have my first grandchild. Yeah!!!
Thank you very much, Lorraine aka Auntiraine 2-26-08
