Following
is a usefull but very incomplete list of recordings that I suggest if one
has an interest in Old-Time Music. The list is mostly limited to recordings
available on CD. I've tried to make links from the list to the artist or
label directly. Some are not on the internet. If there are any questions
about getting in touch with an artist or label contact me at: donpedi@hotmail.com
For the most part I've only listed a few items from each label, relative
to the size of their catalog. Also, the recordings listed are limited to
those I know and are in keeping with my personal slant on Old-Time Music.
