My "vintage" recordings

[Gene]

Under one of my many aliases, I have uploaded to YouTube a couple "old" hobo songs that I recorded at home and processed with effects. Tell me what you guys think!

Gene, Those are great. Great job, but now I find myself sitting here at work humming Postwar Rag.

Nice job!
They have a good "old-timey" feeling.

Sincerely,

Once again that is great. You are right about C&W being forgotten in the golden era. I just recently found some recordings of songs that were performed by area textile mill workers in the 1920's and 1930's in the Carolinas. Keep up the great work.

Oh man, I'd love to hear those if you have a way to get them uploaded! I have a modest 78 collection but I got a lot of train songs and westerns, along with some Deep South blues.

I will see what I can do. (still working on my computer skills and so on.) If you go to www.oldhatrecords.com you can find some very neat stuff.

Gene, here is a link to two of the songs that someone else put on you tube. http://youtu.be/lplU0GUxNMY and http://youtu.be/M7sWidXBDXk

These are songs that were recorded between 1927 and 1931 in Gastonia NC. Gastonia is just west of Charlotte and has a rich textile history. Some good some bad. Hope you enjoy.
