Sean, thank you for the great work. My co-host Bill Hahn and I have been playing CD's from this superb series on our radio program. These re-issues have been handled with care and respect. They sound superb.   For years I have been playing my scratchy vinyl copies, often with skips and pops, that have taken away from the beauty of the original recording. These new reissues allow the music to be heard the way it was meant to be.   I am particularly grateful that you have included original liner notes as well as some updated information.   These CD's are long overdue and you and everyone at EmpireMusicwerks deserve a round of applause.

I hope these will be successful and perhaps we can see some other classic folk catalogs reissued in the future.

By the way, I recorded an interview with John Edward Niles, the son of John Jacob Niles, and I will be airing it in the near future. We discussed the new CD's and the how they are helping to keep the legacy of these great artists alive.
