Re: charlie poole help
Poole recorded If I Lose, I Don't Care for Columbia Records on July 25, 1927. The notes for the County Records cd, Charlie Poole and the North Carolina Ramblers Vol. 2, says that where Charlie Poole found his songs and tunes to record will probably never be known with certainty. It is most likely that his sources were oral since he was barely literate but whatever the source he has a good ear for a good tune... it then goes on to credit If I Lose, I Don't Care as a folksong with no writer credit. I don't know much about the sales #'s, but Neil Rosenberg does point out the importance of Poole's three-finger picking style on Bill and Charlie Monroe... so I would guess his music was fairly widely distributed.

Re: looking for On The Evening Train
At 10:04 AM 4/15/99 EDT, kip asked: hi all... anyone have a copy (or know where i can find one) of the song "On The Evening Train", written by hank and audrey williams? one version is on a larry perkins CD "A Touch Of The Past", sung by gary williamsom w/ tony williamsom on mando. cant find this album... I've got this cd and it seems to still be inprint. It is a good album with an all star lineup including a nice version of the Carter Family's "The Storms Are On The Ocean" with Alison Kraus and Bobby Osbourne. I think I ordered it from County Records so you might want to try there. Also, I think the original version of this song is on the new Hank box set or on one of the "rarity" cds released in the past so you might want to check that. another is a ray davis 'basement tape' recording sung by dan paisley (best voice in bluegrass today...) and james king on tenor(?). anyone have a tape of this version? I'd like to hear that one too. todd? jon? deb? anyone? Shannon
Re: Clip - Randy Travis
As much as I sometimes wish Gov. Hunt would pack up and head west, he and Randy Travis are in fact from North Carolina. Randy Bruce Traywick (Travis) was born in Marshville, NC and spent a large portion of his early career working at Country City, USA in Charlotte.

Re: Bing Crosby recommendation?
Jon asked: Since the Del McCoury comment I posted here recently, naming Der Bingle as one of his favorite singers, reminded me that I've heard the same from lots of other cool country guys (e.g., Maggard), I figure my library isn't complete without something representative. Any thoughts? I would start with Bing's "I'm an Old Cowhand" it is an import with 25 cowboy tunes recorded between 1933-44. It has him doing Tumblin' Tumbleweeds, San Antonio Rose, Pistol Packin Mama, I'm an Old Cowhand, The Last Round Up, Don't Fence Me In, Empty Saddles, Santa Fe Trail, Deep in the Heart of Texas... Of course if you have a spare $65 burning a hole in your pocket, 100 of Bing's Decca recordings have just recently been released on a 4cd set "His Legendary Years (1931-1957)" plus a 68 page booklet.
