Genie--

I have no problem if you want to make the "Blue Heaven" two songs public. I was fascinated by the story that goes with the songs-- the information comes from a wonderful book I read this summer--Public Cowboy #`1--a biography of Gene Autry, by Holly George-Warren.    I've talked about the book before on Mudcat. She actually interviewed Gene and after his death had unprecedented access to the estate.   But she was also given complete editorial control of the book--didn't have to clear anything with the estate. I'd recommend the book to anybody with any interest in Gene, in early "Western" music, in early "Western" movies--and a lot more.    "You're the Only Star in My Blue Heaven" is one of the few songs he really had a big hand in writing--of the more than 200 songs he is listed on as co-writer, in most of them it's just that he had an arrangement to share co-writing credit in exchange for recording it.

Thanks so much for recording.   

You're right, the first performer was excellent--though I can't remember who it was.

Next time maybe I'll get more sleep beforehand and stand a better chance of remembering the song.   I actually put myself on as second in the program since I was afraid I'd crash before the end of the concert (but in fact the music in the whole concert was so good I didn't crash.

(I trust we won't have problems with copyright since you have posted the copyright info (thanks also for that.)   But I thought that copyright questions didn't enter into it if the concert itself was not set up to make money, though I may be wrong on that.
