Just a heads up on Camsco for anybody who hasn't dealt with them yet, or whose only dealing has been to order a Mudcat CD. THIS GUY DICK GREENHAUS CAN GET YOU AMAZING STUFF!!! I was in search of a very obscure recording that people claimed was 'available on the net'. It SO wasn't. Even the manufacturer wouldn't email me back about it. DICK GOT IT IN MY HANDS INSIDE TWO WEEKS!

Anyway, if you're buying recordings, i can heartily recommend you call or e-mail Mr. G first.

Dick is definitely THE MAN when it comes to buying blues, folk and many other CDs. And it help's the Cat.

Our usual pastor's-family-pre-Christmas insanity was complicated by illness. The first thing to go was getrting the tree up, but the next was shopping and shipping. Dick took my whole Christmas list and sent what I asked him to send, where I could be specific (Mudcat CDs), and also hand-picked a bunch from his stash, for people whose tastes I described as best I could. Now that he has our purchasing info in the permanent file, I know I can just drop him a line anytime I need help to appreciate someone. What a difference knowing that a musician is taking care of it! And it's the only online purchasing Hardi is comfortable doing.

Go CAMSCO!

Thanks, Dick. I didn't want to imply that you were only for rarity searches, but I didn't know what your full scope was, so I'm glad you gave that list, and everybody note the closing words "and several hundred labels that are less well-known".

Essentially, CAMSCO sells anything that's folk (or folkish) and in print.

Is there a link to the Camsco website or an available catalouge.

There's a partial, incomplete and outdated catalog at comsco.com

When you sell anything in print, how do you keep a catalog? If you enounter or hear about any folk recording, from anybody try giving us a ring (free) at 800/548-FOLK (3655). Or E-mail me at [e-mail]
