I just got it in the mail this morning. It's pretty well done, considering he just has a little 4 track at home and he's 83.5 years old.

I am going to digitise it and send a copy to Max, BUT, I know I promised copies to a few of you and that was ages ago, so will you please let me know if I promised you one, either here or in a PM with your addy and I will work at getting it dubbed and sent?

Songs included are: Ol' Chisam(sic)Trail; Cowboy's Lament; Trail to New Mexico; Little Joe the Wrangler; Zuni Mountain (pool? I'll have to ask him)(update:2004, yes, it's Pool) Cowboy Jack; Girl I Left Behind Me; Billy Venero; Tying a Knot in the Devil's Tail; Hound Dog Song; Dakota Grass Cross; Punchin' the dough; John Martin(? his handwriting is as bad as mine!); When The Works All Done This Fall; Bury Me Not; Frankie & Johnny; and a couple of others, including a short bit of words to the Irish Washerwoman.

His mic level for voice drops out a little on a couple of them, so it is harder to hear him, but otherwise it is all pretty even and easy to hear. He uses guitar and banjo, plus he prerecorded electronic backups on just a couple of non-cowboy songs.

Thanks,

kat
