Proud neice of a Peachtree Cowboy seeking info on my late uncle, Steve Keith. He was the blind piano man for them in the fifties to the early '60's,when the Covered Wagon was still standing. All the 9 siblings of his generation are gone now, and I've taken it on myself to find out about as much of their history as possible. The times conincide with Jack Reed's time in the band ("There Goes My Everything"). Or if there are other sources I could try to find out more about the whole band. All the departed brothers and sisters deserve to be rememebered. They were po' folks that came down from the N. GA Mountains, and they all made something of themselves. I would love it if the too few cousins to know more about their heritage. This ol' Gawja girl would be mighty beholden to any one who may have some clues, it would mean a lot to our family.

Hello all: I am going crazy trying to find a song that I heard on the radio... It was a country song about a Grandfather sung by his grandson. The grandmother leaves a note for the grandfather at a meeting place to say that she loves him and will see him soon. The grandsonis remembering the note now that the grandmother has passed away. Does anyone know this song? Please let me know! K. Seaver - jimseaver@hotmail.com

I think your country music hall of fame is ten times better than the "other one" in Nashville. I would like to see you put Leon McAuliffe somewhere in your hall of fame. He is considered to be the "father" of the pedal steel guitar. He is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He was a very innovative steel player and has been copied by many other artists. As you probably know, he was with Bob Wills for many years. Thank you. Ray Trosper - Ray.Trosper@gpisd.org

I am 27 years old and just started working full time as a traditional country artist. I use the word full time cautiously. I have not signed a contract with a label but I have had 2 offers. They come from small independent labels and I wanting to test the market a little more before I sign. I would love for you to hear my music.

Looking for facts on the death of Hank Williams Sr. Was recently in the town of OakHill, WV and was told the amazing story of the "2 last stops of Hank". It was questionable where he actually died. I have been "surfing" trying to find newspaper articles, etc. and it is interesting that you cannot find out much about his death. I would be interested in knowing if anyone out there has any "sites" to visit for facts on this part of the Country Music History. Jane - jane@athensfpc.org

As a long-time Fan of the Opry I would love to see Gid Tanner and the Skillet Lickers inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. They were greatly responsible for the famous Ralph Peer recording session that produced Jimmy Rodgers, the Carter Family, and the Stoneman Family. They recorded songs that became standards, such as "Back Up and Push," "Down Yonder," "Bully Of The Town," and many others.I think they should be recognized. Kelly Tuck - friarktuck@bellsouth.net

My name is John Steven Chism, My Grandfather was John Henry Chism that recorded in the mid 1920's in Memphis, TN. for RCA (or possibly earlier than that label) as the group The Polk Arkansas Mountaineers. I don't know if spelling for that is accurate concidering the history we have is not very good. They recorded 5 songs from what information we do have... but none of our family has any of these records, but we were told they sold many around Polk Arkansas... wonder why...Ha Ha.

Hello, Dr. Charles Wolfe, This is Diana Christian who worked with Bill Monroe and The Bluegrass Boys as a featured artist, surprise Guest the first year and Special guest the other years. I am in Minnesota where my Mom and family, my incredible children are and Mother made a special request for me to move back up here. I am still singing, writing and as active as ever with music and the L.O.V.E. Foundation, Inc. (LovingOthersViaEntertainmnet). I miss TN and all the friends I have there but for now, it is life in the Star City, a small town called Two Harbors, where I grew up. My phone number is 218 834 8241 and my address is 505 First Ave. Apt. 505, Two Harbors, MN. 55616. Bill and I had a relationship that was extremely interesting and wonderful. In my 22 years in TN, Bill Monroe and I met in 1981 and be came close friends in 1983, the year we went to Israel. He called me the North Star and was insulted when I thought he had said a star of the north, telling me, "You should listen better than that." This took place when I was with him in Dogpatch over in the Ozarks ... I have many journals I had written especially on my road work with him in 1988 to 1990. A musician and huge fan of Americana, our music, told me I needed to write a book on my rare past and I said yes. He asked me to do a story about how this small town Minnesota gal ended up on tour for 5 years and had a strong friendship with the Legend himself, Bill Monroe, and also the Grand Ole Opry, I am preparing that for a magazine up here in Duluth Minn. called Ripsaw. They want a cover story and lots of photos. I certainly have the photos. I told this gentleman, Dave Anderson, who also leads a youth movement towards excellence in living called Free At Last, that Dr Charles Wolfe and my friend and neighbor Lucy, of the POP music dept at MTSU had come to my home at the Clardy House one evening at 7 pm, we talked and recorded many segements of my life, around 11pm we stopped our session and Dr. Wolfe said, we have only scratched the surface, we will continue this some other time ... so as one of the most excellent people I have met besides your powerful knowledge and love of our American Music History and its people, I just wanted to reconnect with you. I hope you and your Darling wife and all your family are doing very well. Love, Diana Christian, also known as Butterfly Rose Christian. thelovefoundationinc@hotmail.com

Bob Wills' great 1940 recording of "New San Antonio Rose" has been selected to be added to the Library of Congress registry of historic sound. Patsy Cline's "Crazy" and Johnny Cash's 1968 concert at Folsum Prison were also included, being the only country songs in the 50 selected. It is gratifying to see these truly great artists so honored. The complete list can be found at GRAMMY.com. Nominations from the public are accepted, so maybe those of us who love traditional country should start letting them know what songs we would like to see honored. John Gill - jwg3@texnetworking.com

Will "Pappy" H.W. Daily ever be inducted into the Hall Of Fame? I have read a lot about this man who seemed to be a big part in establishing early Country Music. How can I become a member to be able to vote for members inducted into the Hall Of Fame. I own a Record Label, "Astra Records", a recording studio "Astra Studios" and a publishing company, Ex Wife Publishing, which is listed in ASCAP.

"All around the water tank/waiting for a train/a thousand miles away from home/sleeping in the rain." So begins one of the truly great songs of country music. "Waiting For A Train" has been recorded many times by many artists, but none as well as the original by the Singing Brakeman, Jimmie Rodgers. This song should be in every country music library. Jim Reeves also did a great version of "Waiting For A Train." This song was written by Rodgers, and originally recorded on Oct. 22, 1928, and released on Feb. 8, 1929, with "Blue Yodel No. 4" on the flip side. This information is from Nolan Porterfield's biography of Jimmie entitled JIMMIE RODGERS. This is an excellent book that should also be in every country music library.

My mother, family and friends used to get together and 'pick and sing', and actually sounded pretty good. We had an old vinyl recorder and I have some old records of them singing. I especially liked their rendition of "Take me back to Renfro Valley, and also, "I Like Mountain Music".
              I know this is really digging in the past. I had heard my parents talk quite a bit about the old WLS Barn Dance and I even remember a little bit of the "Grand 'Ole Opry". Does anyone know where I could find a picture of the "Three Little Maids"? They were really the Overstake sisters; I think their names were Lucille (later Jenny Lou Carson), Eva, and Evelyn. I have seen individual pictures of Lucille and Evelyn, but not one of Eva. Also, is there anywhere on the Internet where I could download a portion of one of their recordings? Or even buy them? Thanks! pfg - Gardpf@aol.com

Hi.... I hope you can help me find a record. I have been trying to find a record that I had about fifty or fifty-five years ago.

Hi: What a real delight and treat to read all the interesting information on the messages; have noted some of the stations to send my CD and there's other questions re songs I may be able to help with. Congratulations on a wonderful site and proud to be listed with Traditional Country Hall Of Fame and also to read about the other artists, some of whom I know. For as long as I can remember, traditional country music has been a big part of my life and I love to entertain (play and sing) and share country music with others. Have some recordings released and thanks to wonderful DJ's worldwide for their support of my music. "Nobody's Darling But Mine" was always my favourite, written by the later Jimmie Davis, and was on my first recording. Again, a super site and lots of great country music cheers, Doreen Brown, Dbenterprises@sprint.ca

Had you ever heard of "Democrat Hot Springs" in the canyon between Lake Isabella and Bakersfield? During the 70's it was owned by Mr. Oscar Whittington, and the place jumped all year long inside the main lodge bar (winter time), and on a huge outdoor patio in the summer. My Dad (Frankie Lemon) was Oscar's drummer. Bill Woods, Jerry Ward, Tommy Collins, Big Bill Smith, Howdy Glen, Mayf Nutter, Red Simpson Sammi Smith & Little David Wilkins were all regulars there just about every weekend. It was a great time in my teenage years to be directly involved (via my Dad) with all those terriffic people and that great country music! Merle Haggard would come down there now & again, as his home used to be right at the end of the canyon (toward Bakersfield). If anyone remembers Democrat Hot Springs Let me know!

Back in the 1970's I recall seeing two PBS 30 minute specials about two pioneer country artists. One dealt with Uncle Dave Macon and the other with Prince Albert Hunt. The latter was produced by the Dallas, TX, PBS outlet. If anyone has any idea where a copy of either program might be obtained, please let me know. The program about Hunt may be the only one ever done. He was local to the Dallas area and died at age 35 in 1931 from gunshots fired by a jealous husband.

Hello, I'm trying to find a website where it explains the history of Country and how it all started. And that defines what is real country is all about. Not those pop country today such as Dixie Chicks and so on. It sucks. I'm glad that you show those real country artist on your page. Keep it up and keep it real.
              Another question. You don't consider Junior Brown is real country? Or is it some kind of blend? And I notice a picture of Garth Brooks with a buster logo on it. But my guess would be that his music isn't real country?
              Hope you can cover these questions. And I am trying to find some helps and a real meaning to country music.

Just recently dec., my father past away at that time. I was given a photo album that contained a lot of family pictures. Among all the pictures there were some country stars as my dad loved country music. I remember going to see all kind of country stars. Anyway, back to the point, there were two pictures of Buck Owens, I believe in a bar not sure. I am sure the pictures were before 1963 because dad was with my mom and she died in 1963. I was wondering if there was someone that collects that kind of stuff. My e mail address is daddezgrl53@aol.com

I just want to congratulate you for such a great website. I, for one, still like the "traditional" country sound. To call a lot of today's music "country" is a joke. If I wanted to hear rock music, I would tune to a rock station. But, in my opinion, it's getting harder and harder to tell the difference. mefkbd@cox-internet.com

I really need to know the title of a song that is sung by a male country artist of years ago (I think). Title and Artist would be good, my daughters and I have been trying to figure it out for weeks. It starts like this ... 'Its been a long time since I've seen the home place ....' We are mighty appreciative of any help we can get. bradys4@telus.net

Fort Worth new Home of Classic Country Music?
The Country Legends Association is considering a move to Fort Worth, Texas. At present we are in negotiations with influential parties that are working with the CLA to make this happen. A New home for Real Country Music which can be the most prestigious event in Country Music today. This move will benefit the country music industry and give worldwide attention that has been lacking as far as Classic Country music is concerned for some time.
              Since the industry has neglected to recognize that there is a huge fan base, that they have tried to program through the media for what they call country music is not working anymore.
              If you are a fan, or involved in any aspect of the industry we would like to ask for your support and suggestions. This association is built on the need for fair to all basis to further the art of country music. Please visit the Country Legends Association web site http://www.clabranson.com and express your concerns and opinion.
              Let your voice be heard support The Music America Loves... The heart of Texas has opened up the door to the Country Legends Association. We want to express our appreciation of your love for our kind of music.
              Thanks, Russ Nelson, Public Relations, CLA - clabrans@uslink.net

Subject: Awards Show
I have some comments to make on the most prestigous award that CMA gives out. It is not the Entertainer of the Year or the Male/Female Vocalist of the Year, etc., it is the Hall of Fame Award. This year is was bestowed on Floyd Cramer posthumously, and to Carl Smith, who was given a front row seat with his beautiful wife, Goldie Hill. And what did CMA do when he was acknowledged on stage by Vince Gill. He stood up took his hat off, waved to crowd and smiled. Was not even given the courtesy of thanking his family, friends, fans and the country music industry. I for one consider this a slap in the face to his many fans, and most of all to Carl. Not allowing his the opportunity to give a short speech. CMA continues to disrespect the legends of country music. You have done it again Ed Benson and CMA. When are guys ever going to learn to respect the achievements of these pioneers. When country music was struggling, who kept it alive. Maybe Carl would not have talked, but we will never know. The CMA is lucky that he even attended, but they need to come forward and explain their actions, and maybe even, "We apologize Carl for not allowing you to say a few words of thanks to your family, friends and fans." And it sure the hell wasn't a time problem because the production company screwed up time and time again. What about when Rascal Flatts gave their award to Randy Owens and Alabama, (unespected), but gracious on Rascal Flatts count. I give them thumbs up for this wonderful gesture. I am sure that Randy Owens and CMA and CBS producer Walter Miller, did not know this was going to happen, but it did, and still no Carl Smith allowed to open his mouth. Then how about Vince Gill having nothing to do at the end of the show for almost 3 minutes. And Jo Dee Messina and Tracy Byrd having to stand there like bumps on logs, because some tech couldn't get the teleprompter working for them. How about the sound tech who screwed up the Johnny Cash Tribute by not having the microphones working properly, and some of the voice sound was not as good as in previous years. Less Vince Gill talking which was not good, because he is such a great host. I guess because of more music. Here we go with rating again, but no talk from Carl Smith. How disrespectful can you become CMA?
              And who would have thought that Vince would have to give Brooks and Dunn their Duo of the Year Award, just as they were leaving the stage after the finished their song. The Award evidently is not as prestigous as it once was, especially since Brooks & Dunn have won it 11 times. I am wondering why these special two people had to receive the award on the run. TOO MUCH MUSIC, BUT I WILL ADMIT GREAT MUSIC, especially Johnny Cash Tribute, Toby Keith, Alan Jackson and Jimmy Buffett, Norah Jones and Dolly Parton, Martina McBride, and my favorite, Shania Twain. If anyone listened to the audience reaction to Shania's song, my case is solid. She may not be bone country, but she is talented and her song last night was a winner, winner. I know a lot of people will have pro's and con's to me.
              Two special moments that I am sure did not go unnoticed were Martina McBride's emotional performance of her new song about "Daughter." What a super awesome song, as Vince said, but let's not something special go without a comment, Vince Gill with his daughter by his side, singing harmony with her Dad. What a touching moment.
              Today has got to have Toby Keith scratching his head, as we all are. Last night CMA could have set a one-night precedent by giving out Two Entertainer of the Year Awards and Male Vocalist of the Year Awards to both Alan Jackson and Toby Keith.  My friends, country music strongly needs both of these super dudes, and there is another one on the way with Darryl Worley.  What Toby accomplished in music this past year has been awesome, and to walk away 0 for 7, something is wrong. Kudo's to Alan Jackson for giving Toby a reassurance that his day is coming and it will be soon. When the CMA awards eluded Alan for all those years, he still did what he loved the most, he wrote and recorded his music, and that is what Toby Keith is doing. He lives on the edge like a friend of mine, Johnny PayCheck. CMA, you screwed up last night, but if we take into consideration what was the worst screw up, it would have to be not allowing Carl Smith to speak. Shame, shame, shame on you.  CANCEL MY MEMBERSHIP-LIKE THEY REALLY CARE FOR PEOPLE LIKE US WHO SPEAK OUT!!!
              Hey Ed, remember a couple of years ago, the letter I sent to you in regard to getting caught up with those who should be in the Hall of Fame, well I think you need to go and read that letter again. You did bring a group in a couple of years ago, but a mass induction would be a great infusion for country music. We keep waiting until they pass on to give them their respect and just dues.
              Congrats to John Carter Cash and Kathy Cash for the way they carried on with the Cash Legacy and for their Mom and Dad. John and Kathy were thrilled that all these awards were coming to Johnny for all that he has done for music in general. He is a hero across this planet we call earth. Did we get a congratulatory note from President Bush?
              Well I am done spouting off, so I will take the heat when it comes, but just like TK, I stand up for what I witnessed and heard last night. On a number from 1 to 10, my ratings of the show were 8. WHO CARES-RIGHT. Marty Martel - martymartel@legendsfest.com

Hello, my name is Scott Reynolds, son of the legendary Donn Reynolds - King of the Yodelers. I'd like to take this opportunity to compliment your efforts in producing such a fantastic website. Your enthusiasm toward the musical history, artists, and culture of country music is clearly evident as I admired your pages. It's the surprising absence of Donn's reference within your great depth of historical detail, why I feel it most relevent to draw your attention to my late father's illustrious career.
              Donn is a former International and World Yodeling Champion and a star of song and screen, performing on countless stages and television shows worldwide. His friends included the likes of Hank Snow, Peggy Lee, Roy Rogers, Marty Robbins, Ray Price, Roy Clark, and Buck Owens. His acting credits include the films Eureka Stockade (1949), She Wore A Yellow Ribbon (1949), Arena (1953), and the lead role as Davy Crockett in the British musical. His recordings include several worldwide hit singles for MGM, Columbia, and RCA.
              In 1978 Donn established the world record for the longest yodel by yodeling non-stop for 7 hours and 29 minutes. In 1984 he set the world record for the fastest yodel...Achievements placing him in both Guinness Book of World Records and Ripley's Believe It or Not!
              I welcome you to visit Donn's new official website for further reading and sampling of his online music! In fact, I would be grateful to exchange links with your wonderful website. I think our site material is very relevent to each other and would provide our visitors mutually beneficial resources! I would also gladly share any reference material (biographical/audio/images) should you consider Donn's inclusion as expansion of your website!
              Thanks again for providing us country music fans such an excellent online experience! donnreynolds@hotmail.com

Here in Virginia the traditional country music fans suffered a blow last week when our local country station, WKCW, 1420AM of Warrenton, VA without warning suddenly went off the air on Sept 29, then came back on the air in a new format (all Spanish-speaking Mariachi music; no kidding, it's not modern "Latin" format). Calls to the station have not been returned. Information on local broadcasting internet column said that new owners (Multicultural Broadcasting, from NJ), have fired the station staff and the Mexican music is a signal fed into the transmitter from another location. Warrenton, VA is a semi-rural area about 40 miles from Washington, DC with many country music fans. I've been to packed bluegrass music festivals there, but I've never even heard Spanish music played in cars at the 7-11. This format change baffles everyone I've talked to.
              The station had been on the air in the traditional country music format since 1960, with a very loyal following. Long time DJ Tomcat Reeder has been a fixture on our airwaves for decades. It has been our only local source of "traditional " country on the airwaves in this area, featuring a great variety including music of Merle Haggard, Connie Smith, George Jones, J.Cash, Don Gibson, etc. as well as newer artists such as The Derailers and Dale Watson.

Hello. My name is Crystal and I¹m not sure if you can help, but it¹s worth a shot. I'm trying to find the name of a country group and the song that was popular in the mid 90s. Now, it wasn¹t an alternative band. I almost want to say that it¹s a bluegrass group, but I'm not positive. Do you have any suggestions on how to figure this out? I don't remember a whole lot about the song, but some of the words in the "chorus" were about watching the stars in the sky and fishing. I'm sure that doesn¹t help a lot. The thing that makes it even more difficult is that I don't think it was a HUGE hit. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Crystal - cmadrid@austin.rr.com

Hey all! I am here today, because I came across the find of a life time, I think, and am trying to find out if what I have is for real. I recently found an old Photograph of the Grand Ole Opry Crew, that has "Berlin 1949" printed across the top of it, and of the 17 persons in the photo, there are what appear to be the autographs of 10 or 12 of these people. I say they appear to be autographs, because I can't be sure, but a couple of them looks very much like all the autographs I've ever seen of Hank Williams, Sr., and another looks like Roy Acuff's. There are also signatures from Minnie Pearl, and "Little" Jimmie Dickens, as well as others. I guess basically what I need to know from the rest of you Grand Ole Opry enthusiasts, is....Did the Grand Ole Opry actually play in Berlin in 1949, were these people actually there, and if so, are these actual autographs? How do I find this out? Please help and e-mail me at: kdchristian@msn.com with any ideas you think may be helpful in obtaining answers to these questions. Posted August 26, 2003

Hey John Bower, I saw your request for info on Curly Fox & Texas Ruby from Aug 10th. I posted your request on a Hank Williams Message Board (http://pub21.bravenet.com/forum/show.php?usernum=1722239149) and got some responses. I put it on that Message board because I knew that steel guitar legend Jimmy Porter frequented it. Jimmy played steel for both Hank Williams and Curly Fox and Texas Ruby. Use address to see Jimmy and others responses.
For more info on Jimmy Porter goto The Drifting Cowboys Website

I agree that the real country music is the music of the original Carter Family, Jimmy Rodgers, The Delmore Brothers (before they went on other styles in the 50-ties. Nowadays there are too much other influences, good music on it's own but not real country music. And do you know what the problem is: I live in Holland and in every music store I can buy Garth Brooks and other modern country-related singers. Lynn Anderson's Rose Garden? how many CD's do you want sir? But the Carters, the Delmores, The Blue Sky boys, Th Louvin Brothers etc. you have to find with a little candle. Now I am searching for the music of June Carter Cash: in the end I found her CD "press on" but don't ask me how and after how many hours. Now I am searching for the CD "Wildwood flowers (a sort of tribute to June Carter)and only where can I buy it: in the states and NOT without a credit card.
              What I want to say is: yes countrymusic must become real country music again AND it has to be sold all over the world more than nowadays. Sorry for my English, it is not my native lanquage but besides that ... we all come together in love of that old country music and then we will understand each other easily. Greetings from that little country on the North sea named Holland.

Just 3 months ago I discovered your excellent website. It is a goldmine of CM. I spent hours surfing in it. It's fun. I printed all profiles of CM greats and the Rockabilly HoF is fantastic too. Today I discovered the fantastic Marty Robbins website. In my opinion he is # 1 all -time versatile singer/songwriter. Nobody can fill his shoes. He could sing any kind of song and was perfect. Well I was raised on hill-billy and rock-a-billy and that good ole rock'n'roll listening in 1960 (I was just 18 then) to AFN radio st. from Frankfurt, Germany. I had to get up very early. I discovered the beauty of that great music. It has been a part of my life. I can not live without it. I am male, educated and a teacher of German in one of our local highschools. I have a part time job. I am a CM d.j. at a small FM radio st. on the campus of our local Institute of Technology (11 000 students). I have 3 shows a week; 35 min. each. I play only solid trad. old and new CM (I ignore that cont. junk from Nashville), gospel, rock-a-billy, good ole rock-and-roll, bluegrass, some folk and blues, cajun, Western. The problem I encounter here is the lack of recorded stuff as nothing is available here and I can not afford to order those expensive Bear Family recordings. I need some help and support. I mean some promo copies. Anything. Thanx a million in advance for your kind assistance. Take care and good luck and keep up the great work. Kindest regards from Poland, Institute of Technology FM Radio, CM d. j. - Miroslaw Desperak, P. O. Box 713, Pl - 42 200 Czestochowa/Poland * Europe - jjm@o2.pl

Hi everyone, A friend of mine wrote me and asked if I could help him find information on a singer who recorded on MGM and other labels in the late 40's and early 50's by the name of Jack Hart, which according to him was a pseudonym for Jack Williams or Jack Dean Williams.
              One of the recordings he made on MGM 11338 78 rpm was as by 'Jack Hart and the Hired Hands': 'Rabbits Don't Ever Get Married' with 'Shoot Out The Lights' on the other side. Evidently there was a reissue of the B side and the title was either changed or it was a typographical error somewhere as it was issued on MGM K11338 45 rpm as 'Knock Out The Lights' with 'Still Waters' on the B side.
              Hart (Williams) is said to have recorded at least 4 sides with MGM. He may have recorded under his own name or used another pseudonum for the following tunes which he wrote, which were copyrighted 4/10/51 and is known to have recorded: 'Something Old, Something New, (Something Borrowed, Something Blue') and 'Off Again, On Again Heart'. Williams is known to have had a band he called the 'Frontier Boys' which he ran using his Williams name, which was based in the L.A. area in the 40's and 50's which was featured in a couple of Western motion pictures in Hollywood and broadcast over KXLA at one time and played dances at The Round Up Club. The band included Hank Caldwell and others unknown.
              In the late 70's or early 80's Jack Williams also made a 45 single recorded priavtely and pressed on a custom label with the assistance of singer, songwriter and musician Jerry Dykes, 'The Second Time Around' and 'Wishful Thinking'.
              Does anyone know any more information on this artist and his records. If so is there a possiblity of getting a copy of them? Any information or help would be most appreciated. JF - jodyfogerty@yahoo.com

Years ago Marijohn Melton (later Marijohn Wilkin) came to Winters, Runnels County, TX with her mother, Karla Melton, to visit her uncle, Buford Owens. I met her at the time as I was visiting my grandparents, Wash and Lela Nance. Marijohn was a friend of Mrs. Pearl Jackson a schoolteacher. Marijohn came back to Winters to care for her uncle just before he died.
              Why am I giving all this information? I would like to get in touch with Marijohn if she is living. I think she would be in the lower 80s. If she is living I would appreciate an email from her. If you have no knowledge of her I appreciate your efforts. Also, if she is deceased I would like to know that. Also, how to get in touch with her son, Bucky Wilkin, if he is living. Thanks, Alex Orr - arorr@tyler.net

I am Judy and live in Australia.I am trying to find a song that was sung by Lefty Frizzel some 40 years ago,the name of the song was Devil's Elbow. Could you please tell me if you know where I could possibly obtain a copy? I know it was many years ago but I am a devoted country music fan and have been since i was 10 years of age and am now nearly 60 and going strong so it means so much to me to get this song. I do not think it was released in this country as i heard it on my country music station many years ago. If you can not help could you maybe put me in touch with someone who may be able to help. Thank you so much. Judy - jazzytom1@tpg.com.au
