This discography is a non-commercial labor-of-love and is in no way associated with any business firm.
All I know about the resp. artist's / label's musical output is shown on this page. To purchase out-of-print records I recommend an ebay, gemm or google search. And - sorry for that - I have not the time to answer any e-mails asking me about further information, let alone duplicating out-of-print recordings I happen to own.Stefan Wirz www.wirz.de |

| In 1940 author and folklorist William A. Owens made a live recording of "Grey Ghost" singing "Hitler Blues" in Navasota. After the song received a write up in TIME magazine, an acetate of it was sent to Alistair Cooke of the BBC for a wartime broadcast.. The recordings Grey Ghost made for Owens in 1940 ("aluminum disc recordings" SERIES. 25) still survive, stored at the Cushing Memorial Library of the Texas A&M University.
