[78-L] Farr Brothers [was Sons of the Pioneers (was Bob Nolan)]

[Dan Van Landingham]

I found a BMG released CD of them in a Salvation Army thrift store.The CD had 
recording dates but no
matrix and take numbers.It was part of a two CD set.I've never seen anything on 
either CD or vinyl of
their recordings on ARC reissued on Columbia.I saw some Sons of the Pioneers on 
Melotone in a juke
box-pinball repair shop in Coos Bay,Oregon back in 1994.They were the blue and 
silyer Melotones and
they probably dated from 1936 as I believe ARC discontinued the label by 1937.I 
had some green and
gold Melotones of Patsy Montana once and I believe those dated from 1935.Other 
Melotones I had
were by Will Osborne,Dick McDonough(The Goona Goo which was great),Johnny 
Meissner,Joe Hay-
mes and a country singer named Buck Jones.Correct me if I'm wrong regarding the 
years of those Mel-
otones.

The best biography of the Sons of the Pioneers is "Hear My Song: The 
Story of the Celebrated Sons of the Pioneers," published by the John 
Edwards Memorial Foundation. The Farr Brothers' transcriptions were 
issued on two LPs, one on Cattle Records, the other on JEMF's own label. 
I'm not aware of these being issued on CD.

There's a CD of the Farr Brothers' Standard, Thesaurus and Orthacoustic 
ETs on Country Music (UK) RFD CD 11. This overlaps the JEMF by a few 
tracks. Don't have the Cattle.
