Subject: RE: Records you're Still Looking For
Bill, I've got THREE albums by Walter Forbes, including the one in question.

Ballads and Bluegrass RCA Victor 2472, 1962
Folk Song Festival RCA Victor 2670, 1963
Nashville Coyote JMI 4005, 1973

I saw Walter Forbes in person at the Grand Ol' Opry (I still remember that he did Cumberland Mountain Deer Chase!) and was mightily impressed. When I saw 2472 in the stores, I really wanted it and always intended to buy it, but money was tight in those days right after college, and I delayed too long. All of a sudden it was gone, and though I looked everywhere, I had no luck. Periodic searches over the years came up empty. Then two or three years ago, I saw the lot on eBay, and really jumped. I am not sure anymore, but I think I may have paid $15 for the three of them.

At the moment, my equipment is not set up for ease of duplication, and I can't honestly say when it will be. We'll work on it.

One you and I have discussed before, Bill, was the second Perry County Music Makers album on Davis Unlimited. Still no luck on that one.

There are others, but that's enough for now.
