Sharron,

Thank you for sharing your treasure of such wonderful songs. It is lovely to be able to hear your mother's voice after reading so many of your stories about her life. Because the songs are such period pieces it is also deep dive into living history. "Bravo!" to your mother Katy. Marina

Oh Sharron, just wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! Enjoying this post in words, pictures and sounds has been the highlight of my Saturday afternoon. What a terrific musical legacy. Thank you so much for sharing Katy's beautiful music.

What a treasure! It is amazing how technology has brought these to your site today decades after she recorded them. My dad and his brother did several of those records and we appreciate hearing their voices too. What memories - to keep their voices not only in our hearts but actually in our ears as well. And all because she did her brother's chores that day!

I’m in bed (wife is asleep and son is too in between us), so I didn’t get a chance to listen. But I’m going to come back to this tomorrow and give a listen - can’t wait! I think it’s amazing that you have these recordings after all these years.

Cowboy songs are the best. Your recordings sound fine. Like hearing them on a static filled far-off radio station driving down the highway late at night. They are still good songs. A great story. Thanks for writing it, Sharron!
