It was there that my wife and I first heard some of Bud and Travis's music played on British Forces Radio. We thought their voices, harmony and guitar playing were sensational and so we searched Singapore City record stores for their music. The album we managed to find, the only one, was “Spotlight on Bud and Travis.”</div> <bR> <div> Our son, Kris, was born in Singapore in August 1960. He grew up listening to a variety of music, of course, but when he was old enough to sit up unaided he used to do a sort of shuffle on his bottom and wave his arms about in time to the music whenever Bud and Travis sang "Jenny on a horse", it was so obviously his favourite track! </div> <bR> <div> Years later we contributed most of our record collection, including Spotlight, to a service field hospital in the Aden Protectorate. Volunteers there had just set up a DJ service on headphones</div> <div> for the patients but it had been done on a very tight budget and they were desperate to build up a library of recordings. In this way the music that had given us such pleasure had a new lease of life entertaining people who were recovering from illness or injury, making Bud and Travis a part of their lives, too.</div> <bR> <div> Over the years, Travis's music and incredible talent has touched</div> <div> many lives.</div> <bR> <div> Bud & Travis' much-loved singing revives wonderful memories for me of a earlier  time in my life. In my experience, music is uniquely able to do that. A  single musical phrase is sometimes all that is needed to trigger the recall  of people, places and events, bringing them clearly to mind. Memories are  very personal possessions and I find the longer I live the more I treasure </div> <div> and need them.”</div> <bR> <div> Geoff Clayton</div> <div> April 2007</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="d76c8140.gif" border=0 width="200" height="20" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> RAFAEL ALMARAZ in Las Vegas is one of thos4e lucky people who saw Travis Edmonson perform live.</div> <bR> <div> ” I am originally from Casa Grande, Arizona. I grew up listening to the old rock and roll or traditional Mexican music. Being of Mexican ancestry I can appreciate real Mexican music.</div> <bR> <div> When I was in the US Air Force, and stationed at Williams Air Force Base, Chandler, Arizona, in the early 1960s, I really got into folk music and ran into one of Bud and Travis' albums (Bud & Travis In Concert). I was so impressed by their talent and  their ability to perform Mexican music better than the original singers that I had heard before.</div> <bR> <div> I  used to play their music to my in-laws and they could not believe that two non Mexicans could sing and play guitar better than our own people. I don't want to brag, but I played in band in high school, played guitar, and I played a lot of Mexican music, and I was absolutely amazed at their talent, their musicianship and their showmanship. To this date i have not heard anybody play those songs better then Bud and Travis.”                          </div> <bR> <div> Rafael Almaraz</div> <div> April 2007</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="d76c8140.gif" border=0 width="200" height="20" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> DON MACLACHLAN, who is now  resident in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, keeps his Bud & Travis music ever handy on the go in his MP3 player.</div> <bR> <div> “Been a fan since hearing Malagueña Salerosa in Edmonton, Alberta, muchas años pasados...</div> <bR> <div> I live now in a world of Mariachis and street singers - all of whom know 'the song' but none of whom can perform it as B&T did for so many years... I always come home and play 'the original' once again... Thanks so much for the memories and the songs.   (I played bass in our own 'home brew' folk group - made a few bucks but never went pro- have to continue with a couple of degrees and do the conventional thing...)”</div> <bR> <div> Don MacLachlan</div> <div> April 2007</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="d76c8140.gif" border=0 width="200" height="20" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> DON STEMMLER  in Maryland  points to the inspirational impact Travis Edmonson's music has for so many people.</div> <bR> <div> “I would like Travis to know that my double LP of the Santa Monica concert sustained me through the Army, college, and the early days of my teaching career. </div> <bR> <div> Only recently did I obtain a B&T CD as a gift. When I heard Bonsoir Dame, Cloudy summer afternoon, and I Guess I'll Go Home, I cried right in front of my girlfriend. Damn. I had not listened closely to music for many years. I felt reconnected with a part of me that I lost. This occurred at a time when I was rereading J.D. Salinger. </div> <bR> <div> In a simpler time years ago, I used to tell people that if my house were burning the first two things that I would save were my Bud And Travis in Concert album and Brubeck's Take Five. </div> <div>  </div> <div>  Bud and Travis gave the world a gift, and I want to thank Travis Edmonson  for sharing his talent with me and the world.”</div> <bR> <div> Don Stemmler</div> <div> March 2007</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="d76c8140.gif" border=0 width="200" height="20" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> PETER  M POWERS in Napa, California is a long-time Bud & Travis fan.</div> <bR> <div> ” I had an old LP of B&T Naturally, and many of the other LP's from Bud and Travis. I am really interested in this particular CD because of the unique arrangements of Down in the Valley and also In the hills of Shiloh. I was very happy to find this site!”</div> <bR> <div> Peter M Powers</div> <div> March 2007</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="d76c8140.gif" border=0 width="200" height="20" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> GLENN PETERSEN in New York particularly cherishes Naturally and the the Bud and Travis `debut' album.</div> <bR> <div> ” I still have and still occasionally listen to four B&T LPs I bought in Santa Barbara in 1963/64, where I also saw Travis perform. This music truly shaped not only my aesthetic sensibility, but also had a very big impact on the course of my life.  I've gone several times over the years to “Most Happy Fella” at the New York City Opera just to hear "Joey" in its original setting. I can't begin to express my appreciation for Travis Edmonson's music.”</div> <bR> <div> Glenn Petersen</div> <div> March 2007</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="d76c8140.gif" border=0 width="200" height="20" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> When LEILANI BABCOCK  in Michigan heard that all of Travis Edmonson's albums were available on CD, she wanted to order every one. </div> <bR> <div> "I have always loved Travis' music. ” I met him once in Lake Tahoe in 1967. He was then acquainted with a group called the The Christiana's, who worked at the ski lodge by the same name.”</div> <bR> <div> Leilani Babcock</div> <div> February 2007</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="d76c8140.gif" border=0 width="200" height="20" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> ROSANNE BUSCH was hoping against hope that her beloved `Bud and Travis `debut' album was available on CD just as she remembers it.  Voila!  The Travis Edmonson Collection fulfills her wish.</div> <bR> <div> "Your digitally remastered CD is wonderful.  I love my old 33 1/3 album so much, but cannot play it anymore. New equipment . I wanted the original in a CD version. Love the music SO much.”</div> <bR> <div> Rosanne Busch</div> <div> February 2007</div> <bR> <bR> <div> Comments Pages</div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="comments1.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Recollections Comments 1">1</A>     <A HREF="comments2.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Recollections Comments 2">2</A>     <A HREF="comments3.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Recollections Comments 3">3 </A>    <A HREF="comments4.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Recollections Comments 4">4</A>     <A HREF="comments5.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Recollections Comments 5">5</A>     <A HREF="comments6.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Comments Recollections 6">6</A>     <A HREF="comments7.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Comments Recollections 7">7</A>     <A HREF="comments8.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Comments Recollections 8">8</A>       <A HREF="comments9.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Comments Recollections 9">9</A>     <A HREF="comments10.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Comments Recollections 10">10</A></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="comments11.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Comments Recollections 11">11</A>      <A HREF="comments12.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Recollections Comments 12">12</A>       <A HREF="comments13.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Comments Recollections 13">13</A>      <A HREF="comments14.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Comments Recollections 14">14</A>     <A HREF="comments15.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Comments Recollections 15">15</A>     <A HREF="comments16.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Comments Recollections 16">16</A>      <A HREF="comments17.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Comments Recollections 17">17</A> </div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="comments18.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Comments Recollections 18">18</A>      <A HREF="comments19.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Comments Recollections 19">19</A>     <A HREF="comments20.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Recollections Comments 20">20</A>      <A HREF="comments21.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Comments Recollections 21">21</A>      <A HREF="comments22.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Recollections Comments 22">22</A>      <A HREF="comments23.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Recollections Comments 23">23</A>     <A HREF="comments24.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Comments Recollections 24">24</A>      </div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="comments25.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Comments Recollections 25">25</A>      <A HREF="comments26.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Comments Recollections 26">26</A>     <A HREF="comments27.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Comments Recollections 27">27</A>     <A HREF="comments28.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Comments Recollections 28">28</A></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div>   <script language="Javascript"> // do not make any changes to anything past this point or tracking script will not work var data; document.cookie='__support_check=1'; if (location.host) { var domain_name = '&d=' + location.host; } else { var domain_name = '&d=unknown'; } if (document.referrer) { var referrer_website = '&r=' + document.referrer; } else { var referrer_website = '&r=unknown'; } if (navigator.appName) { var browser_name = '&b=' + escape(navigator.appName); } else { var browser_name = '&b=unknown'; } if (navigator.userAgent) { var full_browser_info = '&fbi=' + escape(navigator.userAgent); } else { var full_browser_info = '&fbi=unknown'; } if (navigator.appVersion) { var app_version = '&aV=' + escape(navigator.appVersion); } else { var app_version = '&aV=unknown'; } if (navigator.javaEnabled()) { var java_enabled = '&jE=' + navigator.javaEnabled(); } else { var java_enabled = '&jE=unknown'; } if (screen.width) { var screen_width = '&sw=' + screen.width; } else { var screen_width = '&sw=unknown'; } if (screen.height) { var screen_height = '&sh=' + screen.height; } else { var screen_height = '&sh=unknown'; } if (screen.colorDepth) { var color_depth = '&cd=' + screen.colorDepth; } else { var color_depth = '&cd=unknown'; } data = 'a=track' + domain_name + referrer_website + browser_name + full_browser_info + app_version; data = data + java_enabled + screen_width + screen_height + color_depth; document.write('<img border=0 hspace=0 vspace=0 src="http://stats.directnic.com/tracker.php?' + data + '">'); </script> <noscript> <img border=0 hspace=0 vspace=0 src="http://stats.directnic.com/tracker.php?a=noscript"> </noscript>   </div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
