There will be 200 of these Johnnie Lee Wills shows in all, so I think you'll be satisfied. Hope so anyway!

You're welcome. Sorry it took so long to get from program #1 to #2.

These recordings actually came from someone in the Tulsa area who took the time each day to record their noonday broadcasts. Eventually there will be Johnnie Lee Wills broadcasts as well.

I will say that if you want these recordings, go to my website, exploring the past.net, and you can buy the broadcasts. You will have to download them to your computer to acquire them. That's the only way to get them. See the tag at the end of each video.

@@Louis_Hatchett Thanx. I did reckon this link, but I thought this would be on "for collectors" vinyl.

I'm glad you like them. There were a whole lot more, but youtube banished them, citing copyright infringement. In May, youtube made some sort of deal with music publishers to not publish anything that had a copyright restriction. When they ban "Faded Love" and "Roly Poly," you know something is wrong. The problem is that these are being banned by artificial intelligence. A machine! Thus, some woman complained that her video of a 500-year-old Indian song was banned because someone in the entire world claimed copyright infringement. Another guy claimed he couldn't put on video his own song because it was copyrighted. The whole thing is just nuts. In about 200 days all of these videos and the ones that were banned will be going up on Facebook. Facebook doesn't have problems with copyright restrictions. These videos have been going up there, one per day, since July. I will continue to publish music on youtube, because, as I see it, if anyone can claim copyright infringement, there won't be any music on youtube, and the whole system will crash on its own. I think corrections will come after the folly of relying on a machine will expose itself.

I'm certainly glad you found me. I think I've put up about 300 videos now of things that no one else had. I'm starting to release Johnnie Lee Wills material now. Johnnie Lee and Bob used many of the same musicians. A lot of these videos are also on Facebook, too. UA-cam has blocked a lot of the Tiffany Transcriptions, citing copyright restrictions. Facebook doesn't care, and when those go up in a few months the selections that were blocked will be included. Anyway, glad you're enjoying them.

You're welcome!

I've about come to the end of the usable Bob Wills material that I had. Today I filmed the introductions for the 200 Johnnie Lee Wills Schmitt Transcriptions. Those will be going up once the Tiffany Transcription material has run out. That might be a few weeks off, though.

You're most welcome! I appreciate the feedback.

The personnel was sort of fluid, but it included: Bob Wills, fiddle Lester (Junior) Barnard, electric guitar Eldon Shamblin, electric guitar Noel Boggs, steel guitar Herb Remington, steel guitar Roy Honeycutt, steel guitar (carefully listen for stylings to tell which musician is playing) Alex Brashear, trumpet Tommy Duncan, vocal (On some of them, Luke Wills, vocal) (on some of them, Tommy “Spike” Doss, vocal) (on some of them, Dean and Evelyn McKinney, vocals) Joe Holley, fiddle Louis Tierney, fiddle Johnny Cuviello, drums Millard Kelso, piano Tiny Moore, electric mandolin Ocie Stockard, rhythm banjo Billy Jack Wills, bass And there is undocumented possibilities that others may include: Johnny Edwards, drums Monty Mountjoy, drums Luke Wills, drums Leonard Seago, fiddle, Jimmy Widener, rhythm banjo

There were a lot more of the Tiffany Transcriptions than those found on the Kaleidoscope albums. There were about 300 made. I have about 270 or thereabouts.

Glad you enjoy it!

I'm glad you got to see him several times. He seemed like a very nice guy. Down to earth.

Yeah, youtube keeps rejecting a lot of music videos, claiming it's copyrighted. They are using AI technology to do this. I don't think a human being is involved. I put up 12 songs and 11 of them get rejected because it's copyrighted. Back in May Google, which owns youtube, started doing this. They made some sort of deal with music publishers. Interestingly, Facebook doesn't seem to care if a song is copyrighted or not. What's interesting is that almost anyone throughout the entire world can say that a song is copyrighted, and youtube will ban the music without any investigation. A woman complained that a song that she put up--one that was over 500 years old--was banned because someone said it was copyrighted. Another man said that his own song was banned because it was copyrighted. You can see the idiocy of what happens when you let a machine make your decisions for you. At some point this policy is going to cause unintended problems for the company.

@@Louis_Hatchett Stop the world and let me off!

@@CiscoDuck Well, I'll just have to work around it the best way I can. If you want to hear all of the Tiffany Transcriptions, you can go to the website "exploringthepast.net and you can download all of the videos I do without all these deletions. It's a small cost, but you can do what you want. I think the entire 1945 "Bob Wills Drunk Session" is for free. At least that's my memory of it. There is a guy who maintains my website for me. I just write the material and sit in front of a camera. I am not intelligent enough to know anything about computers. This stuff was science fiction when I was in school.

Actually, it was not hard to collect all the western swing music I have. I simply purchased every LP that I could get my hands on via specialty music catalogs, originally with Publishers Central Bureau, and later with monthly purchases from Rounder Records near Boston, Massachusetts and Down Home Music near Oakland, California. Then, later, what I did was this: Sometime in the mid-1980s over a three-month period, I put a $15 classified advertisement in Gold Mine magazine, which was a widely-read music publication. I advertised that I had all of the Bob Wills recordings in chronological order for sale, which I had amassed during the previous decade. I asked $10 each for eight 90-minute cassettes. That was the beginning. Each time I made a sale, I would call up the purchaser and make a friend. I would ask them what they had in their collection. They were so happy to share their collections with me that they sent me thousands of recordings on cassette, mostly western swing from the 1930s through the 1950s. They were as dedicated to preserving this music as I was. A lot of these recordings were not great, but most were in pretty good shape. My intention is to slowly put a lot of my collection on youtube. I am now putting material on facebook too. I hope I have answered your question satisfactorily.

@@Louis_Hatchett That is awesome! Thank you 😊

I'm glad you enjoy it!

I have more Johnnie Lee Wills broadcasts coming up. And transcriptions, too.

Well, thank you very much! I appreciate your comment. I try to please! I'm glad you enjoy them and have found a practical use for them for your museum. Ambiance is important to a customer's overall experience of your museum.

You're welcome!

Thank you.

You're most welcome!

You're welcome!

Would you like to share those? I'm sure someone would like to hear them.

Glad you are enjoying them. Several more like it to come!

Glad you enjoy it! Lots more of the same coming.

You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed it,

You're most welcome! Glad you enjoyed it!

You're most welcome! I've got some others coming up.

It is for people just like you that I put them on youtube for you to enjoy. I have some others in the pipeline that you may like.

I really like that McKinney sisters performance. The spirit of the whole band just jelled into one of the all-time great performances.

@@Louis_Hatchett I've never cared much for the album but always loved that one track

Have Listened To Several Of The Old 78 Records In An Old Victrola My Grandfather Had. Those Old Records Are Interesting To Listen To.

I'm glad you enjoy them!
