Sourdough -
I can never thank you enough for this link! If you search by artist, by the way, you can get a lot more songs. The treasure I found, however, which I must yet verify, is a singer named William Edens from Monte Ne (misspelled in their listing)Arkansas. In 1949, 1951 and 1952, I attended a girls camp at Monte Ne. The man in charge of the riding stables was a Bill Edens. Many evenings, he and some of his friends played music for square dancing at the camp pavilion, or at the lodge.
Can't be sure this is the same man, but it is awfully coincidental if not. Monte Ne isn't big enough to cuss a cat without gettin' hair in your mouth, so it seems pretty likely this is he. I remember him singing most of the songs credited to him in this listing. He let me play his guitar a few times and showed me a couple of chords.
Talk about a blast from the past! Thanks again, this is great.
