Red Allen, the Osborne Brothers and Bill and Mary Reid and the Melody Mountaineers (with Joe Meadows)
June, 1957
Various venues

Hi folks. Here's a pretty wonderful Red Allen and The Osborne Brothers and Bill and Mary Reid and the Melody Mountaineers torrent. I'm going to assume from the quality of the recording (and it's age) that this is a soundboard recording. It's pretty wonderful.

MD5, ffp and the original text file included. I have included this intro as I corrected some song titles. I created the ffp and MD5 files using xACT 1.71.

Lineage: unknown/lost in the mists of time

One more thing: Please note that I am, as always, simply the messenger. All thanks go to fortuenti and, of course, all of the musicians and those who put on this wonderful event. A very humble "thank you!" from sal to one and all.
