   *CQ Serenade Song!*
   Comes in Three Flavors

   From Amateur Radio Newsline - Bruce Tennant, K6PZW
   *Here's the lowdown on this song according to Bruce Tennant, K6PZW, of
   Amateur Radio Newsline: The name of the song is CQ Serenade and we found it
   sometime back while trolling the world wide web. After downloading it, our
   curiousity got the best of us so we decided to find out more. Our search
   finally lead us to Jean-Guy Renaud, VE2AIK, who supplied us with allot of
   information. According to VE2AIK, CQ Serenade was composed sometime between
   1965 and 1970 by Maurice Durieux, VE2QS. Durieux was orchestra conductor
   employed by Radio Canada who had emmigrated from France. Assisting Duriux
   in the creation of the song was F9KT. CQ Serenade was first recorded with
   French lyrics by Raymond Girerd. An English language version written by
   VE2QS and by Georges Brewer, then VE2BR, of Montreal. It was later covered
   by songstress Joyce Hahn. Both versions were available on 45 RPM long
   playing records under the rather apropos QSO Records label. Today, those
   discs are probably true collectors items and all but impossible to find.
   But don't dispair. Thanks to the magic of MP3 audio and the Word-Wide-Web,
   CQ Serenade is still around to hear and enjoy.*

   Here are the Three Renditions, in MP3 format
