KATIE WINCHELL in southern California represents a family full of Travis Edmonson fans.
“I grew up listening toBud & Travis in Concert, and Malagueña Salerosa has never left my head. I'm thrilled to find the album available from The Travis Edmonson Collection, and want to share it with my sister and mom (who went to UofA and also hung out in Nogales)."

MIKE CRABTREE in southern California values all of Travis Edmonson's music, but The Latin Album in particular
"I'm from the era of the 50's & 60's, and the music from all of Travis Edmonson's albums is a national treasure. I'm so excited that The Latin Album is available on CD from The Travis Edmonson Collection, as my one LP record has not stood the test of time and small children.
The music from all of Travis Edmonson's albums only comes along once in a lifetime. I had thought the tracks from the Latin album were lost and only to be remembered. Now I will again feel the real emotion that this music brings out.
Thank you Travis."

The favorite Bud & Travis album of GEORGE MISKIMON in Maryland is “In Concert.”
“The first time I heard Bud and Travis was in Hawaii. It was 1962. I was stationed at Hickam Air Force Base. Someone in the barraks was playing a record that was Mexican Folk Music. The song was "La Bamba" and I became an instant fan of Bud and Travis.
I hadn't heard of them at that time. My initial appreciation of their music was their guitar stylings. The more I listened to their music, the more I was captivated by the union of their voices blending with their guitar playing. Bud and Travis made a huge impression on me in 1962 that has continued to the present. I only regret I was unable to see them in person.
Travis Edmonson is to Folk Music what Chet Atkins was to the guitar. I thank him for what he has given the music world."

CHARLES DUFF in Florida is enjoying his Diamond Jubilee CD “Viva Travis.”
” I was privileged to see Bud & Travis way back in the early 60's, and was amazed with there performance, and have played my records of them until they wore out and became unplayable. I have several of their CDs and they get played a couple times a week.
The great ones only come around very rarely, and Travis is a truly great one!"

HAROLD KAZAKOFF in Saskatchewan became acquainted with Travis Edmonson as a member of The Gateway Singers.
“I'm 67 years old & retired. Probably have about a 1,000 LPs, EPs & singles from the Folk Era. Have all Gateway Singers & Gateway Trio LPs probably short a couple singles. Had to replace some, wore them out. Never thought they would be available on CD. Never saw either group live, but saw Bud & Travis on a short TV shot ,an interview, when they played Winnipeg, years ago.
Have most of the Bud & Travis Lp's & even a couple by Bud Dashiell/Kinsmen. Never forgot the Folk Era; they were good times."

ANNA MARIA RODRIGUEZ in Oklahoma shares a special day in common with Travis Edmonson!
“I've listened to The Latin Album since I was born (also September 23!) and might well have been named for one of its songs.
My mother and father always considered "Sin Ti" their song, so I know it (and most of the others) by heart. Also, whenever I hear any other version of "La Bamba," it doesn't sound quite right because the B&T version is my standard."

SERGEY GRIGORCHUK in Perm, Russia particularly likes the Travis Edmonson song that was a hit for The Fleetwoods.
“I'm really amazed by the beautiful song "Truly do" from Travis Edmonson's 1st album. First time I heard it I thought that it was Elvis. But it was Travis!
I heard it on the "Northern Exposure" TV series. (Season 2 Episode 2). It was so perfect and beautiful, so suitable for this moment to me,"

BILL FROM in British Columbia thanks Travis Edmonson for acquainting him with the art of serenading.
“I'm purchasing the Bud & Travis in Concert CD as a gift to my brother who is a University of Arizona graduate and who introduced me to the music of Bud & Travis many years ago.
I was an amateur folk singer back in the day, and I remember a few lovely ladies who swooned at my rendition of Travis' "Guess I'll Go Home". I am grateful to him.”

HAL SULTZBACH , now resident in Oklahoma, recalls the many performances of Travis Edmonson he enjoyed when living in Tucson.
“For a while Travis Edmonson performed every weekend at the Tucson Racket Club. My future wife and I were regulars. As much as I enjoyed Travis's music, I enjoyed talking with him even more. He used to kid me for bringing my girlfriend and her two sisters to the club, "No man needs three women at once", was a regular comment of his."

ANA RAMIREZ-PALMER in northern California has a special love for the Bud & Travis Latin Album.
“I have been a Bud and Travis fan for years, and my cassette tape of the Latin Album is getting a bit rough. I would love the CD. Their voices are like velvet. As a native Spanish speaker I thoroughly enjoyed their Spanish songs, as well as those in English, but the Spanish touched my heart most.”
