Giving away copy is fine--selling it is a no-no. It's still under copyright.

I'm not sure what sort of info you're looking for about Hedy West. However, I'm sorry to report that she died a year or so ago. Deeply, tragically missed.

I think I've got a copy of this record in my LPs (big black CDs) if anyone needs a cassette. Certainly I've a lot of Bill Clifton material, it's been my pleasure & privilege to pick and sing with him from time to time.

[This is a Bill Clifton record, although Hedy West does stand-out on the song

"Dust On The Bible". She is given credit for banjo and throughout the record.

The rest of the harmony and vocal chores are carried by Mike Seeger including

some fine work on the dobro and mandolin. This is as good Bill Clifton effort.]
