Western Swing on 78

I recently found a real treasure trove of Western Swing music online. It's at: http://westernswing78.blogspot.com/
There are tons of free downloads of otherwise unavailable (except on 78s!) songs. Check out the Joaquin Murphey stuff!

Thanks Melanie,
I never had a chance to listen to Mr. Murphy play before.

Yes, I think Joaquin's playing on "Honeysuckle Rose" and also "Sweet Georgia Brown" (both available on the "Western Swing on 78s" site I mentioned) is just about the best thing I've ever heard!!

I'll definitely order that CD, Roger. Thanks!
