>From the Hillbilly list. marie -----Original Message----- >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >Hi all, > >I've been lurking on the list for a while and have never posted to it. I'm a upright slap player in Austin. But I have just launched a new web site, www.musickings.com, offering vintage and regional music for download. We will also be serving as a distribution site for independent labels that are looking for a web presence. > >I just opened the site on Wednesday and our current selection is limited but our store is open and currently has selections from Austin's High Noon adn Marti Brom, Johnny Gimble (the master of Texas swing fiddle, and Lester Peabody (the Finnish Travis picking virtuoso). We will be adding to our selection on a daily basis from here on out because I have a huge backlog of material to put on the site. > >My partner is the great session bassist, Bob Moore. He was the definition of country bass in the 60's and 70's and was also Elvis' session bassist from about '61 on. Unknown to many people, he was the bassist on many of Johnny Burnettes songs as well. He has been on about 18,000 songs and performed with too many stars to even begin to list them all. > >Our goal is to distribute quality vintage or vintage sounding music (rockabilly, western swing, and what is now called alternative country but is actually the original hillbilly sound) which is not distributed by many sites on the web. In the near future, we will be posting some unreleased material from some well known stars. > >Just thought I would let you all know the site existed. I welcome any and all comments. > >Roy McBrayer > > > > >------------------------------------------------------------------------ >Share the wealth! >http://www.ONElist.com >Tell a friend about ONElist's 115,000 free e-mail communities! >
