[78-L] Hank, the Yodeling Ranger

[Dan Van Landingham]

Do any one of you out there own an RCA Camden Hank Snow LP which has some of the 
1930s
tracks.I grew up listening to my parent's sing Hank Snow but it was of the stuff 
he did here.I have
that RCA Camden track of those Snow Canadian Bluebirds.Sorry for rather getting 
off the beaten
track there in the Ukranian recordings.It was fascinating reading.For what it's 
worth,I really know
little of the eastern European scene there save a couple of 10 in 78s on the 
USSR label.This was
back in the late '78s.I had two pressings.This is as close as your previous 
thread I can get.I don't
really know much of Eastern Recorded Music save what I hear by my Shortwave 
radios.I would
like to know more from your forum regarding the Yiddish music what was recorded 
for Victor in
1917.I enjoy reading the feedback on these different forms of early record 
music.I am primarily a
jazz record collector from 1915 through 1956.Some of the Hank Snow I have is 
from 1937,The
LP dates from circa 1963.
