Doug Sahm and the boys, including some guy named Freddie Fender.



Monello and I were in a little bar in Mesilla NM and "Wasted Days and Wasted Nights" came on the jukebox. Monello informed the bartender and local ladies we were chatting with that....

...he had never heard that song before.

:yikes:

I will never forget that.

It's a good thing he had you, because you admit a thing like that in a place like that, you might as well go home because you ain't gettin' any action with that kind of confession.

Speaking of songs I've never heard before. Patsy Cline with "Come on in (and make yourself at home)." (1958)

Best seller - in 1900!

Here is one of the best selling Ballads from the year 1900, " A Bird in a Gilded Cage" words by Arthur Lamb and music by Harry Von Tilzer, and sung by Tenor Harry Anthony on Edison two minute black wax Cylinder Record #7587.



Presumably what is another version (as I type this, I haven't listened to it yet). I'm listening to it right now...nowhere near as clear as the 1st one.

Columbia Graphophone Grand (Concert) cylinder record 4608. Recorded in 1900. With pictures from trade magazines about the early recording industry.
