This is from a reel to reel tape that sounds like it might have been recorded from a transcription disc. Circa mid 1950s

Gene Beecher Orchestra at Clevelands Lido Merry-Go-Round circa April 1935. Possibly Lois Shaffer Beecher singing on the second track.

Let's Spill The Beans

Somewhat primitive cassette bootleg of Hank's acoustic segment. As you can hear, all his rowdy friends showed up! All classic songs - but he basically never stops - so I left it one big 28 minute track. Didn't know to much about Hank when I went to this show - but I left thinking I had seen something great!

I got big box of Bud's reel to reel tapes, and two of his recorders, at an auction. This is the second transcription. Here are 5 commercial spots, probably from the early or mid-1950s. While Bud and Molly were best known as musicians, apparently the Messners were in the apple business too.
