Hi Gyro and Ryp, forgot to sign my name the other day, but this is what I meant! I've never seen this one around before. Don't think most people realize how much time you must spend searching for these gems to share. All the best, Marie

Thank you very much for introducing me to music I haven`t heard before, I don´t know much about western swing, this stuff really rocks. Maddox Brothers is fascinating ! Every track on CD 2 cuts off before its finished, there seems to be an error, am I the only one ? normanji from germany

I have to agree with normanji cd 2 is cutting off at the end of tracks for me also.
Must admit I had only played cd 3 till I read the comments again.

Hi - I just returned from my vacation. I am not sure why CD2 has a glitch and cuts off songs. I have another version of CD2 on my hard-drive, here it is:

CD1 and CD3 seem to play fine. Let me know.

Thanks for this - and for the quick fix on CD 2. Great compilation! Interesting to hear these other artists' versions of staples like "Juke Joint Johnny", "Honky Tonk Hardwood Floor", etc.

No CD 2 on the server, can you reup this one?
Great collection! Thanks.

I wanted to check if you still have this material available and if it would be possible to upload it again. Sorry to bother you, but every time I go through your blog, I come across jewelry that is highly desirable but very hard to find. If you still have it and want to share it, that would be great. As always, thanks for your attention and for allowing us to discover so much good music. Greetings to you.

I hope I don't bother you too much. but you have so many wonderful things, that I will have no choice in some cases. thank you for your kindness and generosity.
