Roy Acuff
Grand Ole' Opry Transcripts
My guess these recordings start as early as the late 30's. The quality varies from excellent to not so good.
I recieved these audio discs as a set of 4. The last track of disc 3 & 4 had over 5 mins of dead air each.
I removed the dead air and the set now fits on 3 discs. (Note EAC & Shn logs show a 4 disc set)
