My Records on my Vintage Players

Original version of the official state song of the bluegrass state

2 of 12 of the original lineup on the 1916 Victrola, they way most people in the unelectrified South would have heard it.

Bill Monroe, (16 year old) Earl Scruggs, Lester Flatt, and Chubby Wise comprised the original lineup of the Bluegrass Boys for a year and a half. The 12 singles they recorded shaped Bluegrass, Country, and even Elvis....

As Willie Nelson says," In Texas Bob Wills is still the King of Western Swing."
Original unrestored player with a modified 1924 Brunswick reproducer.

"And The Stars Were Shining." Puccinni. Recorded at Carnegie Hall April 1904. I used the original mica reproducer and Tungsten stylis. It sounds better than the later model foil one with steel needles I use on later records.

The Singing Cowboy that charmed many hearts back in the day....

Recorded in Camden New Jersey. Played on a Brunswick Sentinel with steel needle. I have about 30 Carter family 78's from 1927-1936. I will put up more soon.

Recorded in Camden, NJ early in 1928; became the most phenominal guitar solo piece in history. Maybelle Carter would go on to record and perform this song over 300 times on every radio and tv show of the time; most memorably, the Johnny Cash Show in 1969, when she reunited with her cousin Sara for the first time since 1943...…...One of the first songs every guitarist learns and never masters....though some of the later recordings feature the signature Carter Family harmonies - this is the original, that sold 1,000,000 copies in 1928/1929.

The Queen of Country Music!!!

Their first record and a top ten hit at that. Wilma is playing the guitar, Stoney the fiddle and mandolin.

he plays the guitar solo too...

None

Also recorded August 1927. The First 'Gold' Record in the USA. Eventually sold a quarter million copies even in the midst of the great depression. America fell in love with the 'Singing Railroad Brakeman', who unfortunately died of tuberculosis in 1931.

Near mint cond.

Recorded August 11, 1927 at the 'Bristol Sessions', which Johnny Cash described as,"...the big bang of country music". Other artists recorded that day included Earnest Stoneman, The Carter Family, Grayson & Whittier.

A favorate of the late Jeanette Carter; this is one of only a few recordings where you can hear Mr. A.P.Carter jump a full octave above Sara and Maybelle.

One of their seminal tunes utilized by dozens of Hollywood films and hundreds of novels...Kitty gets mad because I had to move his bowl to play the record....cats are so tempermental!

Mint Condition the Original First Recording of the now Infamous song by Ralph and Carter Stanley

On the 1940's Canadian School Record Player

Swapped out the worn out pot metal reproducer for a stainless steel HiFi head and arm. With the wooden Horn this one should sound as good as the 26' Brunswick now.
