Dear Sun Spots: I volunteer at a local nursing home and need the words to old songs. Something like the “Song Hits” books they had years ago. Sheet music would be great also. One of the residents plays the piano, and I lead the group in singing and remembering their good old days!

Dear Sun Spots: A few years ago, in response to my inquiry, you recommended I contact Empire Perfume Inc. in New Jersey. I had wished to purchase Sublime Eau de Parfum by Jen Patou. I did buy a bottle and am now in need of another bottle. I tried to contact them and was told they are no longer there. Can you please help me find their location or another perfume company, which carries Sublime?
I really appreciate your column and all the help you give to people. Thank you. – Georgia Finch, Minot.
