The Harlem Banjo CD did not sell well (not really a surprise) and is not easy to find at a resonable price.

Anyone who wants to listen to Snowden can get a CD of the guitar duets with Lonnie Johnson. The sessions were indeed in 1960, as mentioned in the initial post. In the 1990s, another record was issued of "outakes" from the session called "Blues, Ballads, and Jumpin' Jazz, Vol. 2" and is looser and more fun than the original. That CD runs about $7 and is on eBay any day you want (at least for now). Snowden: acoustic (lead) guitar and Lonnie Johnson: vocals and electric guitar.
