Well, geez, Bet, there goes part of yer Christmas present!**BG** You and our sisters and brother are all on my list, as well as your kids and mine. Nice to see you on here. Of course you'll remember better than me, but they sound pretty close to what I recall; I could almost smell the campfire smoke.

Nathan in Texas, if you will send me a PM with your addy, I will get one sent to you, too. I am not comfortable putting my addy in the thread, so I'll PM it to you.

DEAR PHOAKS (FAMILY MEMBERS EXCEPTED)This looks like it is going to go bigger than I ever imagined. Thank you! Rather than you figure out to send a tape or a couple of bucks, how about I just say it will be $3 even and call it good? I'll send your tape and then you can send me a money order or check, eh?

Included will be little program thingie I made up, with the songs listed, a couple of photos of dad, one of him playing his B&D Montana Silverbelle tenor banjo sans the ivory resonator, a couple of very old-timey photos of his dad, a photo of the ranch and a little bit about him.

Thanks for your understanding and support!
