The old Folk Era label was evidently bought out and combined with Wind River and other labels and overseas imports. It's now the "Rediscover Music"/Aztec Corporation.

They have a website at:
Rediscover Music

that has over 30 pages of the good stuff you thought you couldn't get anymore. The We Five has an album listed, if you remember them, and more you'd forgotten about. Much filling in of Kingston trio albums on CD not readily found. Really good stuff ( I at least could listen to all day/all week ).
 
Anyone remember Steeleye Span?

Haven't listened to them since I found out
My LP's wouldn't fit in my CD player.

:D
 
Nope, they're not listed, sorry, but they do have CDs of Gene Autrey and Roy Rogers.

( Actually saw him (( Rogers ))at one of the last Harold's Club Golden West Grand trapshoots in the early 70's. He was walking around on oxygen. )

But look the pages/link up and you'll find stuff going back to the Welch, Scottish, Irish, English roots of folk, bluegrass, cowboy, western etc., and stuff out of the 40's, 50's, 60's, through today. you'll recognize and remember stuff you...

hey, you looked up Himalayan Imports once, didn't you?
 
Thanks Rusty. check out Elderly Instruments.

Your Folk is a little mainstream and 50's 60's for me, but it is all good.

There's a collection, the soundtrack, to the Ramblin Jack Elliot movie I would like to have.


just as long as we don't here the first strains of "Puff, the Magic Dragon" wafting over the HI forum....

Munk,
Remember that one of the first C-130's converted for use as an aerial gun platform was nicknamed "Puff." Lots of fire and smoke!
Since then, the song always makes me smile.
 
I'd forgotten about "Puff" the combat air battleship.

How you doing Art?

Doing real well.

Linda and I had our 30th anniversary a couple of days ago. I've been married half of my life....doesn't seem possible.

How about you? Mending OK? How's your end of the world equipment sale going? Can you find some excuse to go to Missoula for the knife show next month?

Back to subject -- fans of 50's music might like the site:

Happy anniversary, Art! Our best to you and Linda!

P.S. When did you get that avatar?
 
There's probably some of those sherpa songs that Uncle Bill hates and Pala loves, that talk about whatshisname the magic Garuda ( and that allude to the Yeti... ).

Just figured that some of the more senile senior citizens* amongst us might have an interest in what these guys have to sell.

( * selectively senile or hard of hearing, cause it's easier to ignore it/them or "forget" something than fight it, most of the time... such as my turning off my hearing aids. I sometines do that and take them off to make a point. I can tune them out without touching the volume knob anyway, I just take them off as a gesture to drive the point home - their talk ain't worth the battery power.
 
That's another good link, Art, but I'm a newbie of 22 years this August. Be 8 more years til I reach 30-30.
 
Thanks, Raghorn. Got the avatar from Pendentive a few weeks back.

Rusty, the time goes faster each year, so 30-30 will be here before you know it.
 
Art, Congratulations.!!

I'm going to a Gun show in Bozeman in July. What date is the knife show in Missoula?

Munk,

The Montana Knife Show is July 18-20 in Missoula.

I think any of the Forumites would enjoy seeing the level of work displayed at the show; some of the makers are truly the best mosaic Damascus artists in the world.

I actually saw him in a rodeo show in the early 50's. He was riding around on Trigger.

The show featured a battle between settlers in covered wagons and the Indians. Then the Blue Coat soldiers rode in, killed all the Indians and saved the white settlers.

Then Roy rode in with a big American flag and circled the arena several times. This brought the audience to it's feet with a deafening round of patriotic applause.

Even the dead Indians got up and cheered for the flag.

You don't see half-time shows like that anymore!

I don't know about the dead indians where you live, but the live ones here had as many or more American flags displayed after 9-11 than the live whites did in Town.
