How to get your music featured on this page:
If you are a performing HVFG member (you have to be a member!), you can submit your song to us for consideration to have it added to the featured songs on this page. You will have to send us your tape or CD and tell us which song you want to feature, or better yet, send us an mp3 of the song by email, and we will let you know if it will be added or not. Contact the HVFG.
For copyright reasons, we can only put original or traditional tunes here. We don't care whether they're your own or a friend's originals, as long as you're sure (and state so) that the author's lawyers won't come after us for unauthorized exploitation of copyrighted work.
If, say, Carl McPauly sends in a song of his and claims it's an original entitled "Tomorrow", we'll post it. If somebody later finds out (and tells us) it's actually "Yesterday" by Paul McCartney, we'll delete it. However, we cannot be held responsible for not recognizing a ripped-off tune immediately.

In this case, you may download the "non-streaming" version of the Real Audio song, or right click and save the MP3 song, to your hard drive. It would download the entire music file to your workstation (may take a few minutes each), then play it from there, and should play without the pauses.
