An Introduction To Your Autoharp

 Here`s sort of an unusual 45 I dug out of the archive for you. This will be something that will likely be boring to listen to if you aren`t into autoharp. Mother Maybelle Carter is on it, though only on the first cut. As this cover says Sears on it, I`d guess this record may have came with an autoharp, which you could certainly have ordered from Sears in the 1960`s, which I`d guess is when this was made. Happy downloading!

Elmer Bird - The Banjo Man From Turkey Creek

 It`s been a while since I posted some good old-time banjo. This is some very hard driving, rhythmic style claw hammer picking. He played what I tend to call the Tennessee style claw hammer banjo, which is more rhythmic than the North Carolina style, which tries to match the same notes as the fiddle, note for note. Mr. Bird had a VERY hard driving style. Listen and enjoy!

The last two Dick Unteed LP`s

 This is the last two Dick Unteed LP`s I own, and as far as I can tell this makes all he recorded. It was mentioned in a message on one of the two earlier posts he may have made an LP under an assumed name also, so, something else may pop up someday. Enjoy!

Two more Dick Unteed LP`s

 Here`s our next installment for this "series". I thought I`d post these two together because they both have the same title (why did the label do that?) but are different LP`s. Seems foolish fo them to have named these the same. In the day before the internet, sales to stores were likely through a catalog. If I had been running a record store, I might have though this was a mis-print and only ordered one of the LP`s for my stock. Same for someone at home that commonly used mail order. If you had bought one, and maybe a year or three later the other one came out with the same title, you likely wouldn`t have bought it unless you noticed a different catalog number, but if there was no song list, you might have still thought it was the same record that you already had. The LP with the green cover seems quite a bit rarer than the others, and the title may be why. So... download and enjoy!
