[Vintage-Audio] Re Have You Ever Seen This Album By Floyd Cramer?

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

Hi Lee,

I have the "Class Of 1965", the first year the series was introduced. I 
wrote to Floyd Cramer and asked if he would please do the class of 1964, not 
just because I graduated that year, but because America changed that year in 
many major ways. Everything from the bugs from England invading the music to 
the last year our coins contained .90% fine Silver to the slant back cars to 
us getting 'seriously' into Vietnam to a new President after JFW was killed 
to Civil Rights legislation - the blind and other handicapped got the right 
to vote! and more.

I got a very nice reply from Floyd Cramer, which I still have.

I have all the "Class Of ..." through 1973. I was not aware any others were 
released. If your 1976 issue has the Olivia Newton John "Let Me Be There" or 
"If You Love Me Let Me Know" on it, be warned! The blind dude, who is part 
Tracking Dog, is sniffing his way to your QTH Lee!

I do not know what year the incredible talent somehow was collected by the 
RCA Nashville Studio B, but I have Floyd Cramer on a 1960 album titled 
"Hello Blues"

I wonder how many albums that incredible talent has released? I own 
forty-nine of them. The early ones are all mono, at least mine are.

Any good sources Lee to buy still sealed or like new used ones that you deal 
with or know about?

Maybe you and I should exchange album title lists?

I bought one last month strictly due to its odd name, "The Chicken Chokers - 
Shoot Your Radio!:" It is still sealed. It is difficult to say the name 
without laughing!
