Singing Bones is so impressive, thanks to all involved for sharing and to AnaB for creating the original collection.

Something for the weekend - Ben E.King Complete Atco/Atlantic Singles Volume 1. This collection takes the story of Ben's solo career from 1960-1966 and it's pure class from start to finish. Can't wait for Volume 2! Enjoy.

Imagine if everyone who download The Singing Bones just would say thank you. And Ana B would see these hundreds of comments. Maybe then, someday, she would return?
Thanks again!

I used to love Singing Bones and had hopes, when I saw the first of this series posted on TZ, that the blog had been resurrected. No such luck, but thanks for the fond memories. Thanks for the memories, Ana and Gyro 1966. Robert

I've just started catching up with Singing Bones, but I've realised I've downloaded them before and it must have been from Ana's site!

So many good site's vanished.

Thanks again though for sending out RYP, I'll upload them to my iPod.

I too am anonymous.

Thank you so much for the Singing Bones. I loved Ana's Blog and miss it dearly, but understand life goes on. I so appreciate this opportunity to reconnect and to get the volumes that I missed (7-17 - didn't know there were that many, so much better than why I tried to do on my own.)

Thanks again for this treasure.

@Ana B & Gyro - THANK YOU.

Miss Ana - if you are ever at Eucalid Records and meet the Husky dog named Ziggy - please know that he belongs to people that do good work in NOLA. They all are my favorites.

You make me happy to think about home, from afar. XO.

Bear said...

The Singing Bones has made a convert out of me. I resisted downloading them for a few days, then pulled down 1 & 2. Now I'm hooked!

Thank you, AnaB and Gyro. Great stuff!

And a special thanks to the person that shared The Yellowbellied Sapsuckers. That will be my favorite hick music for some time to come.

Adding my thanks for the musical journey of Singing Bones. It takes me back to New Orleans, before the Army Corps of Engineers helped wash out the Nevilles and wash in Brad Pitt...and that was a pretty fine place to be...
