I was in high school then, trying to learn to play guitar.</div> <bR> <div> There are some musical styles that take you out of this world, and this LP was like that. The quality of guitar playing and singing on the debut album was way ahead of anything I'd ever heard, and my favorite song was Bon Soir Dame. </div> <bR> <div> Unfortunately, the LP somehow got lost in 1963. It was a very sad occasion for me. At that time there was no Internet, Amazon etc.to be able to replace it.</div> <bR> <div> Although years passed this album always kept its place in my heart, and whenever I listen to soft guitar playing and singing I always remember Bud& Travis. But never got the chance to hear listening them again.</div> <bR> <div> I looked for the debut album after the Internet came into being, but never could find it. I have found other albums of Bud & Travis but my eyes were always looking for the Debut Album which was the starter ….. for B&T and for me. Though years passed, and I didn't locate it, I didn't give up, and kept on searching from time to time.</div> <bR> <div> Then, the other day I ended up at travisedmonson.com. I was very happy, jumping up and down! I shouted out, "I found it, I found it!" My wife rushed in my room, and looked at me with her eyes wide open trying to discover what I had found .... She told me "yes man.. you're a go getter."</div> <bR> <div> Then I waited for the moment of hearing that CD over and over again. After 45 years ..... I have just received my CD, and  Immediately listened to the whole album with tears in my eyes. Today is a very special day in my life. I am so happy!</div> <bR> <div> My love and regards to Mr. Travis. Way out in Istanbul, Turkey he has an admirer who appreciates his music very much!”</div> <bR> <div> Atakan Onol</div> <div> June 2007</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="d76c8140.gif" border=0 width="200" height="20" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> Arthur Sordyl in  northern Virginia first discovered the music of Bud & Travis on the TV series Northern Exposure.</div> <bR> <div> ” I wish that I had really pursued my fleeting interest when I had first heard Bud & Travis15-17 years ago.</div> <bR> <div> I could never imagine not being able to listen to The Best of B&T or Santa Monica concert 3-4 times in a row like I do now. I'm dumbfounded that more people don't know how exceptional these 2 guys were in every way possible musically - beautiful voices, lyrics, and guitar playing that knows no peer.</div> <bR> <div> The fact that they were 2 genuine, conscious, knowledgeable people to begin with doesn't surprise me at all and am very saddened that Bud passed before he should've. I am very glad that someone has taken the time to put together such an informative, useful site."</div> <bR> <div> Arthur Sordyl</div> <div> June 2007</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="d76c8140.gif" border=0 width="200" height="20" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> ODELL HATHAWAY in southern California especially likes the Bud and Travis `debut' album.</div> <bR> <div> “ Thanks for the "Debut" CD, it is like a voice from the past. I have it now in my iPod, and as I travel over Arizona I often listen to B&T. </div> <bR> <div> That jet contrail up there may be me, listening.”</div> <bR> <div> Odell Hathaway</div> <div> June 2007 "</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="d76c8140.gif" border=0 width="200" height="20" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> JOHN LOEB has fond memories of Travis Edmonson performing live.</div> <bR> <div> “I used to go see Travis sing in a coffee house cafe in the 60's and have his records on vinyl. I also saw Hoyt Axton at the same coffee house. The setting made Travis' performances very close and personal.  I especially liked "The Web" and "I'm A Drifter". His version of "Malaguena Salerosa" is the best version I have EVER heard.”</div> <bR> <div> John S. Loeb</div> <div> June 2007</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="d76c8140.gif" border=0 width="200" height="20" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> When Travis Edmonson first became aware of singer-songwriter TIM WIEDENKELLER, he was immediately entranced by the breadth of talents demonstrated by the man who'd already established himself as a top producer in the recording industry.  Travis became an immediate patron, and the two have also become fast friends. In May 2007 Tim released the single “<A HREF="newoldpueblo.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="New Old Pueblo CD">New Old Pueblo</A>” (see FEATURES section), and Travis Edmonson plays a significant role on the CD.</div> <bR> <div> “On May 5 Travis Edmonson joined me and my band onstage to perform a “live” re-creation of my new CD “New Old Pueblo,” complete with deeply sentimental reminiscences spoken by Travis. There wasn't a dry eye in the house!  I know Travis is proud of this</div> <div> project, as am I."</div> <bR> <div> Tim Wiedenkeller</div> <div> <A HREF="http://www.timwiedenkeller.com" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.timwiedenkeller.com"><U>www.timwiedenkeller.com</U></A></div> <div> May 2007 </div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="d76c8140.gif" border=0 width="200" height="20" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> The world-wide appeal of Travis Edmonson's music is further demonstrated by the experience of GERT FLORIS IN the Netherlands.</div> <bR> <div> “In the early seventies (I was around 17 then ) I bought the lp "Bud & Travis in Concert" at a garage sale. I had never heard of Bud and Travis before, but for a few guilders it was worth to try. And </div> <div> my God  -- it was great!!!!!</div> <bR> <div> Not just the music, but also the talking in-between; in a kind of way they where the  firsth stand up comedians i heard. And it was something totaly different from the music i normally listened to. (Velvet Underground, Stones, Pink Floyd, etc.)</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="dcd969e0.jpg" border=0 width="150" height="158" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> However, over the years the lp disappear - you know how it goes  … you get married; get divorced, and find out that you have lost more than love in those years.........</div> <div>  </div> <div> A few months back i heard the song Malagueña Salerosa  - not by B&T, but an other performer -and it brought back my memories to the " But & Travis in Concert" LP. I wondered if it was available on CD, and  went to the shop, but .... shame, shame nothing of Bud and Travis was available -not even from  the so called "import" shops. </div> <bR> <div> So i looked at the internet and that's how I came to travisedmonson.com.</div> <bR> <div> I'm just listing now to the Travis Edmonson Collection edition of Bud & Travis in Concert and Volume 2, and   it's better then I remembered!!!!”</div> <bR> <div> Gert Floris</div> <div> May 2007</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="d76c8140.gif" border=0 width="200" height="20" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> MICHAEL LAWLOR in Santa Barbara, California, was excited about getting Bud & Travis CDs from The Travis Edmonson Collection, and  synthesizes what makes them magical for so many fans.</div> <bR> <div> ”This is so wonderful! I grew up with Bud & Travis music, and had all their albums on vinyl so long ago. I loved this beautiful, passionate music then ... and I love it now. It remains timeless and fresh to me.</div> <bR> <div>  The music of Bud and Travis is so incredible, the musicianship so superior ... both technically and soulfully. What a gift!</div> <bR> <div> I listened to the five Travis Edmonson Collection discs continuously for two days! Such a great pleasure, with so many great tunes that I had forgotten about. I am absolutely thrilled with them and especially pleased that it helps out Travis. Thanks for everything!!!"</div> <bR> <div> Michael Lawlor</div> <div> May 2007</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="d76c8140.gif" border=0 width="200" height="20" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> HUGH LAFFERTY in Connecticut , whose favorite Bud & Travis recording is the debut album,  was a singing partner of Bud Dashiell before he teamed up with Travis Edmonson.</div> <bR> <div>  “ I knew Oliver H.P.Dashiell  in Korea .…we served in the same artillery battalion ...92nd AFA ... Bud was in Hdqts Battery and I was CO of "Charlie" Battery ... </div> <bR> <div> We sang many a song together ... One of our "basics" was "Down In The Valley" ... Bud on guitar and yours truly, tenor, or bari or bass as the evening would progress ...</div> <div>  </div> <div> God bless all there and around you, near and far."</div> <bR> <div> Hugh R.

Travis Edmonson's rendition of Malagueña Salerosa, After all these years, still sends shivers up my spine. One of my other favorites is his collaboration with katie Lee On “10,000 Goddamn Cattle.”</div> <bR> <div> Travis' music has gotten me through times of stress, & enriched my life. Thanks to the website for keeping the dream and Travis alive in the hearts & minds of folk everywhere."</div> <bR> <div> Jerry Chilson</div> <div> May 2007</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="d76c8140.gif" border=0 width="200" height="20" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> STEPHANIE LANE in Denver particular appreciates Travis Edmonson's wonderful song of conscience, “The Time of Man,” and wonders if anyone has any info on Cherry Hill Singers.</div> <bR> <div> “I found one album by Travis Edmonson a few years ago and purchased it. My friend and I have been looking for a recording of Time of Man for so long and were talking about it tonight. And there it was, on this site. It's one of my favorite all time songs. </div> <bR> <div> Also, has anyone, except for my friend and I, ever heard of the Cherry Hill Singers? They were a group that recorded an album and I believe they were in SAE at UCLA. </div> <bR> <div> I also Found an album by Terrea Lea, from the old Garrett Coffee House, and got that one also. What a treat to go back to the old songs that really meant something. Thank you for the years of great music.”</div> <bR> <div> Stephanie Lane</div> <div> May 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> <bR> <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>
