Gordon,
You can find a rendition of "Ill be home for Christmas" and just have it playing itself over and over while you go through the story.
I wish I knew wish rendition this was, as it is very reminiscient of what I would expect for the 1940s.
Otherwise, you are going to have to tell us what computer, operating system, and browser you are using.
Since Richard has Mac, and uses OS X (Tiger), and safari as a browser (or so I think) it works well for me.
Not much help,
Meg
