My name at the time was Sara Braddock. A friend of mine from Roanoke College, Carol Rowe married the Manager of The Kingston Trio, and She had told Travis to call me in New York ,which he did .  And we had a delightful and lovely time!  He was so Handsome and Dashing and such a wonderful musician!</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="bc4a9bc0.jpg" border=0 width="169" height="188" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <I>Sara Izod</I></div> <bR> <div> I worked for a Broadway Producer, Alfred de Liagre, Jr., head of the American National Theatre Association , but am not sure I was working for him at the time that I met Travis.  Later, I married and moved to England and then moved back to New Orleans . recently moved to Atlanta after the Hurricane. (I lost so many things in the Hurricane including two of Travis' albums).  I recently ordered 'The Best of Bud & Travis' CD. It means so much to me to hear Travis Edmonson's Music on this Album.</div> <bR> <div> I am so sorry to hear of his illness , but I know in Travis' situation, It is all evolution of the Soul to a Higher Level . He is such a High Soul Being, and has Given So Much to this World!!!”</div> <bR> <div> Please send my Best to him.  I only met Travis for an evening , But I consider it a Blessing that I met him at all.”</div> <bR> <div> Sara Braddock Izod</div> <div> September 2006</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="d76c8140.gif" border=0 width="200" height="20" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> DAVID HORWITZ, who saw The Gateway Singers perform at the hungry I, obtained the group's albums on CD through The Travis Edmonson Collection, but turned his thoughts to the singer in particular when he received a complimentary sampler of his music as a result of the purchase.</div> <bR> <div> ”It got me to thinking while listening to the compilation. Obviously, the last quarter century has not been an easy time for Travis or his loved ones. But there is something very special about an artist's life, because their talent lives on through recordings, paintings, movies, etc. </div> <bR> <div> Travis has left his mark in so many ways. Not only through the music of The Gateway Singers, Bud & Travis and his solo albums, but also through introducing so many of us to the wonderful music and culture of the Mexican people and Hispanic Americans. Through his music he has helped us become a richer, more culturally diverse society.</div> <bR> <div> While I enjoyed listening to Bud & Travis when they were performing, I probably didn't fully appreciate what they did until I started listening to the Reflections disc you sent. What a wonderfully, tight, understated sound they had.</div> <bR> <div> It has to be thirty years since hearing their version of Raspberries, Strawberries. That and Sin Ti are absolute gems with intimate arrangements and intricate harmonies that suited their voices so well.  Abilene has a wonderful warmness to it as though we are</div> <div> sitting around late at night in the mellowness of good company and a little too much wine while two skilled singer/musicians are quietly sharing some of their precious musical memories.”</div> <bR> <div> David Horwitz</div> <div> September 2006</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="d76c8140.gif" border=0 width="200" height="20" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> RON FITZ in Colorado names “Bud & Travis Naturally” as his favorite Travis Edmonson album, and acknowledges the enormous contribution which the  singer  has made to American music.</div> <bR> <div> ”I came to love folk music about ten years after it was popular in the 60's. A dollar or two for albums in the cut-out bin let me go beyond the Kingston Trio. Throughout the 70's I found albums by all the KT contemporaries, including Bud and Travis. Eventually, I covered all the reasonably well-known acts, and increased my knowledge of music history. With the advent of CDs I came to know the Weavers and early performers who had inspired the 60's "Folk Boom." I learned more, and exchanged more information with others when the Internet became accessible.</div> <bR> <div> Now I'm looking at performances in the late 50's-early 60's time frame. Taboos of the day evidently kept "The Gateway Singers" from commercial success, but that group contained Ernie Sheldon, Lou Gottleib and Travis Edmonson who seriously impacted commercial folk music individually and collectively.</div> <bR> <div> While I have read about and am familiar with the songs performed by the Gateway Singers, I have heard very few of their performances. I hope to bring more Bud & Travis and Gateway Singers works into my collection now that I've discovered this website.</div> <bR> <div> I've seen Travis Edmonson at John Stewart's Trio Fantasy Camps where he is rightfully acknowledged as a pioneer in folk music. I must agree that only a handful of individuals including Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger may be said to have contributed more to our folk heritage; Travis has certainly been among the most imposing and inspiring figures in the world of folk music.</div> <bR> <div> In all my years of following folk music, I find it interesting that the greatest praise for Bud & Travis comes regarding their Spanish language pieces. Some writers remarked about their great appeal in live concerts. The duo's appeal for me was in the traditional songs that just about every folk act performed, only they were done BEST by B&T.</div> <bR> <div> It always seemed to me that their versions of "Down in the Valley," "Two Brothers," and "Hills of Shiloh" were what the other singers were aspiring to. Likewise with the W.B. Yeats poem that became "Golden Apples of the Sun." Bud & Travis just performed the definitive versions.</div> <bR> <div> On a non-musical note, I have to take off my hat to the man I've seen at the Trio Fantasy Camps. I see a passionate man of great courage and determination come out year after year to share an unflagging spirit with people who love the music. If he wasn't already an inspiration for his talent, he is surely an inspiration for his fortitude. Having met him, I have been in the presence of a giant."</div> <bR> <div> Ron Fitz</div> <div> September 2006</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="d76c8140.gif" border=0 width="200" height="20" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> Entertainer AVA VICTORIA  is known to Bud & Travis fans via the wonderful interview she did with Tom Straw on budandtravis.com.  She's meantime released a wonderful new CD, “Hybrid Songbird,” which will surely appeal to all fans of the group! (More info on her website given below.)</div> <bR> <div> “I hope that one day I will have the GREAT pleasure of meeting Travis Edmonson. I was a student of Bud's in Westwood, California. I have most of the vinyl they made, and the collection is precious to me.  Please do let Travis  Edmonson know how much I do enjoy those recordings.”</div> <bR> <div> Ava Victoria</div> <div> September 2006</div> <div> <A HREF="http://www.avavictoria.com" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.avavictoria.com"><U>www.avavictoria.com</U></A></div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="d76c8140.gif" border=0 width="200" height="20" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> TOM WRIGHT in Arizona has been a Travis Edmonson fan for 27 years, and loves all the singer's songs and albums.</div> <bR> <div> “I attended a Travis show at Scottsdale Community College on March 7, 1980, and it was a great evening. David Holt played amazing guitar that night, especially his double-slide dobro solos. Is he still around, recording and/or performing?</div> <bR> <div> Sure hope "10,000 GD Cattle" will come out on CD sometime soon.”</div> <bR> <div> Tom Wright</div> <div> September 2006</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="d76c8140.gif" border=0 width="200" height="20" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> BEN MIDLETON  had the opportunity to hear Travis Edmonson perform both as a soloist and with Bud Dashiell in Los Angeles.</div> <bR> <div> “What great memories I have from attending performances of this brilliant singer and musician.  Travis, you are the TOPS!”</div> <bR> <div> Ben Midleton</div> <div> August 2006</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="d76c8140.gif" border=0 width="200" height="20" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> GENE KELLY in Georgia was the individual who worked with Travis Edmonson on the wonderful “Best of Bud & Travis” CD. Having just purchase the Travis Edmonson Collection versions of the full albums, Gene gives some of the background behind his part in the compilation project, and indicates the coincidental reason why “Raspberries, Strawberries” was not included.</div> <bR> <div> “I'm the person who picked the songs for the "Best of Bud & Travis" CD from Collectors Choice,  and helped write the liner notes. It was a fluke, actually. Tom Straw's website had names of various people as a variety of CD producers, with Gordon Anderson at Collector's Choice Music being one of them. I contacted Gordon by email, with nothing more than a "please put out a CD of Bud and Travis" etc, and received an immediate response that he was "officially looking to license a package" of B&T songs. He asked me if I might suggest 24 songs for the CD. I did, and "volunteered" to do the liner notes. He said that would be great and he'd pay me.  I would have been HAPPY to do it for nothing, but CC Music offered so why not accept!!!???</div> <bR> <div> Now, in all fairness to Tom Straw, who had, in fact, devoted so much effort to getting B&T on CD, I contacted him and offered him half of the payment to work with me on the liner notes. I just didn't feel right taking that money after having been essentially led to it through Tom.  So together we did the liner notes, with Tom doing most of the work. As it turned out, there was at least one error, but I missed it when I scanned Tom's notes. Should have read his liner notes more carefully.</div> <bR> <div> I also caught a lot of flack for the choices I made for the CD. I didn't approach it lightly. I went through every single one of their LPs and picked what I liked (and had my wife's help in the process).</div> <bR> <div> As for Raspberries, Strawberries, I just didn't pick that one. First you need to understand that I'm a HUGE Kingston Trio fan, and I prefer their version of the song.”</div> <bR> <div> Gene Kelly</div> <div> September 2006</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="d76c8140.gif" border=0 width="200" height="20" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> ANDY GRABLE, who's now living in Mountain View, California, enjoyed Travis Edmonson as an entertainer as far back as the 1940s when the two attended the same high school.</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="bb270920.jpg" border=0 width="112" height="146" ALT=" " ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> <I>Andy Graybel</I></div> <bR> <div>  In recalling my high school days at Tucson High, Travis and I were in Johnny Barringer's PE class. Neither of us cared for touch football so we were assigned to run laps. Naturally, after a lap or two, we took a seat in the stands and shot the bull. I didn't know Travis as a musician then, but later, in 1957 when I was attending Art Center School, I encountered Bud Dashiel who was putting on a Christmas show. They became a big hit and I picked up an LP, "Naturally", starting a collection of folk artists.</div> <bR> <div> It's good to hear that Travis is still around and entertaining people.“</div> <bR> <div> Andy Graybeal (THS 1951)</div> <div> September 2006</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="d76c8140.gif" border=0 width="200" height="20" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> BILL KOEHLER, now living in Austin, Texas, became a fan of Travis Edmonson's music through one of Bill's favorite songs.</div> <bR> <div> “I studied with and played a little with Dick Ferdon in Tucson (I am a native Tucsonan)in about 1970-71. Among the many songs we played, Dick taught me the words and music to Travis Edmonson's "I'm a Drifter"--it is one of my most favorite songs. However over the years, I lost the lyrics (still remember the music!). I am trying to re-find those lyrics-now I see that Travis has a web site, and am wondering how to recapture those lyrics, and some of the heart of folks songs of the time. Which album has this song? I am happy to purchase the album, and even review others to also purchase.</div> <div> Now that I know where Travis “is," I will visit the site more often!!</div> <bR> <div> Thanks for your help!!!”</div> <bR> <div> Bill Koehler</div> <div> September 2006</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="d76c8140.gif" border=0 width="200" height="20" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> TOM McGUIGAN  in Florida says he's “been waiting for years” for release of the great Bud & Travis albums on CD.</div> <bR> <div> “I'd like to purchase the Perspective on Bud & Travis CD, with an eye to acquiring the entire collection as the titles become available. </div> <bR> <div> My best to Travis, a great artist and  inspiration!”</div> <bR> <div> T.
