Some Edison late BAs by Ernest V. Stoneman and some by his Dixie Mountaineers. I aquired these and quite a few more including many Dalhart & Fiddlin' Powers from the daughter of the original owner who lived in W Va. He had an Amberola 30 and a home made 4 drawer cabinet that he made and purchased all of these through mail order. I still have unused mail order forms and envelopes that came with the lot that we bought from her!! Some good ole' boy pickin' and strummin'! All were recorded direct from my Opera w/mod A Reproducer using an M-Audio Microtrack 24/96 Edison BA 5191 WATERMELON HANGING ON THE VINE rel 10/26 Ernest V.

Great! Thanks! ;D Thank you for taking the time and trouble to do these! It is so nice to have such easy access to these songs. Did you know that the Stonemans (with Pop still in the group) won the first CMA "Vocal Group of the Year" award in 1968? Pop was the fellow who advised Ralph Peer to go to Bristol in 1927, the resulting sessions being the "big bang" of country music and the genesis of country music as its own industry. Not to take anything away from Vernon D. and his impact disseminating early country music, but he wasn't an authentic rural artist. I prefer the true vine. Luke W.

You're most welcome!!! Though a "Yankee," I have always enjoyed the simplicity of "Hillbilly, Folk, Country or what ever one chooses to call it. It is interesting to note that although Dalhart was from TX, he spent his first years singing opera, for which he had originally trained for! He has been considered by many to be the father of country music, ironic he wasn't inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame until '81. I think the Stoneman Family was awarded in '67 by the CMA but I'm not sure. I do know he died in June of "68 and his earliest recordings on Okeh are hard to find up here.

It may have been '67 . . . gues I'll have to Wiki that one! Patsy gave the award to the BCMA for the museum. Luke W.
