Where can I obtain a recording of Josephine by Gus Kahn?  I have found
planty of sheet music
(http://froogle.google.com/froogle?hl=en&q=Gus%20kahn%20josephine&sa=N&tab=wf)
but I was trying to obtain an audio version for my grandfather for
fathers day.  Thank you!

Gus Kahn's "Josephine" is one of the songs performed by Adrian Rollini
on this CD. However, it's instrumental, with no lyrics:

Problem solved!

Get the Instrumental CD PLUS a copy of the Sheet Music that includes
Gus Kahn's words and produce your own version!

Your Grand-Daddy will appreciate it all the more.

You can try the clip of the song on this recording listed on Amazon
(CD format; available through several sellers). It uses Real Player,
and I had trouble with it on my first try, but was able to listen to
the clip on the second try. It is definitely a vocal version, if this
is the song you want (see below for the original source of info that
cites this as a Kahn song).

There are two copies available on half.com, from reliable sellers for
a lower price here:

I found the reference to this version of the song via a playlist that
came up in my original Google search, which identifies this particular
song as Kahn's (relevant info in caps):

P.S. If this is "it," one of the sellers on half.com offers expedited
shipping. If cost is not a barrier, you could likely have the cd in
hand by Father's Day if you can order it today or tomorrow.

How do I mark this question answered?  I am sorry, I just assumed
