Clifford,

Is there a channel specifically for material from radio transcriptions?

Thanks,

Joe Salerno

So far, I've posted over 6000 videos with 12,000+ subscribers from all over the worldand about 16.5 million hits.  Started in 2008 and I'm still uploading (CDBPDX).  For me, it's a lot of fun.  There are alot of folks who would never have the chance to hear this old music if it were not on YouTube, young people, especially.  Also, older folks like to be reminded of things from their past, though as the years go by, these memories have becomememories of time spent with the previous generation who had these records.
