I THINK that is the best you are going to do, Joe, but I can dig you up quite a number of fairly inexpensive cassettes locally. I don't think there are any other CDs.

I just got home from work a few minutes ago, and won't be going back until sometime next week because of travel this weekend ~~ so it will be a while before I can get back to it. Maybe Arkie will stop in and give you the rundown on what is available.

I don't know if you have ever bought anything from Bear Family, but believe me when I say they do things RIGHT. You'll get the extremely well mastered CDs, plus a booklet which will include the discography, life story, etc. Check with Dick ~~ as posted above, he probably has it a bit lower than that.

To be honest, I don't have it myself, but I have several LPs of his. I have a LOT of Bear Family recordings, and have never felt cheated by the extra bucks ~~ you more than get it back with the extra value added.

By the way, that link to the Conway Log Cabin Democrat article that I posted on July 6, 2000 still works.
