Subject: RE: Cowboy Songs & Hillbilly Ballads 3 CD set
Here's some more info to wet yer appetite, folks. From Roger C. responding to my morning email about all of you PMing me for details:

"That's great news, I'd love to get a bunch of those out.   Any proceeds I get from those will go to buy a memorial to be placed at 1402 East Main in Klamath Falls, which was the home of Stan Kilarr.    Sadly when Stan died some relatives already had a deal to sell the land his "hump backed" old house sat on...the worst part of the story is it was bulldozed with most of the record collection inside, many original masters and one-of-a-kind transcriptions included. There's now a commercial fueling station and convenience store on the property, the ownership has already agreed to give us a prominent space for a memorial to Stan.

"I don't have any problem at all with you giving any and all contact information to people. (I had asked about giving out his street addy.) I trust people with this kind of musical taste...this kind of appreciation is as much a "soul" thing as music. As I'm sure you remember my record collection numbers in the tens of thousands and I have a great deal more to come from restorations.   I'm also open to people looking for something specific and will be glad to do custom restorations for their needs if I can get (or have) an original.

"Thanks for helping me network these!"

Watch for another thread I will start today about a 4CD boxed set of Border Radio Favorites A-Z from the "Dallas Turner Archives." "Music from the legendary days of Border Radio." Dallas was also known as "Nevada Slim."

Thanks, ya'll. These are great CDs!
