They are all copies from VHS public library tapes and they have among them , Grant Rogers, Sonny and Brownie, Richard and Mimi Farina, The Clancy Bros and Tommy Makem, MIssissippi John Hurt, Doc Watson Fred Price, others as well. Any Interest? Don |

(I also have a Sony VHS which I *shall* get repaired soon...so, if anyone desparately needs anything converted......) |
