My Uncle (Charles Gonzalez) is the man in the back cover of the Latin album. So that is how I came about knowing their beautiful music. (He is also the one on the Ozzie and Harriet show who accompanies B&T with La Bamba.) The music on that album is so beautiful. I played it over and over. I still have the album but no stereo. So happy I decided to look on the Internet to see if I could find a CD, and discovered Travis' website. I got three so I could give the other two to my sisters.</div> <bR> <div> Best of Health, happiness and love to Mr. Travis and Aloha from Hawaii,”</div> <bR> <div> Elisa Rummel</div> <div> November 2008</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="d76c8140.gif" border=0 width="200" height="20" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="1328201e0.gif" border=0 width="32" height="30" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Musician ED SHULTS  has started his Bud & Travis CD collection with the debut album and Spotlight on Bud and Travis</div> <bR> <div> “I first became aware of Bud & Travis while in a college folk group. Always looking for songs to sing we found Raspberries, Strawberries and Sinner Man. Thomas Straw is connected to budandtravis.com. Years ago I gave him an anecdotal story about my "connection" to Bud and Travis. My story appears on page one of</div> <div> Tom's memories page.</div> <bR> <div> Music has played a very important role in my life and I was one of thousands of musicians who played gigs in all types of venues. As a musician and entertainer I developed an appreciation for those who were talented enough to "have made it". Bud and Travis were an inspiration to keep working hard to get better at my craft.</div> <bR> <div> Bud and Travis were skilled, talented and polished professional performers - they had a unique style. I was saddened to learn of Bud's passing and I do wish the very best for Travis. I wish our paths had crossed.”</div> <bR> <div> Sincerely,</div> <div> Ed Shults</div> <div> November 2008</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="d76c8140.gif" border=0 width="200" height="20" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="1328201e0.gif" border=0 width="32" height="30" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">Bud & Travis music lives on all over the world, and CHARLES GORDON is playing his CDs on the edge of the rain forest.</div> <bR> <div> at a bar on Waikiki Beach in Honolulu. It was during one of my three periods of residence in Hawaii.</div> <bR> <div> Travis would have no reason to remember me. I was just a guy about their age (my big Seven Five comes up in a couple of months) who came up between sets and told them he liked their music.</div> <bR> <div> Over the years, I bought every one of their albums - and played them often. When I left gringolandia several years ago, a young couple who knew of my fondness for B & T insisted on keeping the oft-played 33 rpms - which they might still have. I have often thought of asking them to send me the vinyls and trying to copy them onto CDs - but recording and editing facilities are not abundant here on the edge of the rain forest, and the sound program in my laptop is pretty basic.</div> <bR> <div> Finding Travis' site with all the albums was sort of a dream come true.   </div> <bR> <div> Chuck “Carlos” Gordon</div> <div> October 2008</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="d76c8140.gif" border=0 width="200" height="20" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="1328201e0.gif" border=0 width="32" height="30" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">PENNY HILL took advantage of the special package of all eight original Bud & Travis albums on CD.</div> <bR> <div> I've been listening to Bud and Travis since my brother came home from the Navy in the 1960's with an old reel to reel tape recorder on which he'd recorded hours and hours of Bud and Travis,  as well as Smother's Brother's, records. Of all of these singers, I always thought Travis had the purest voice. </div> <div>  He was, and is, a joy to listen to.</div> <bR> <div> Over the years I'd find some of this music, but never the same combination ....or in a format I wanted to buy. I was really sorry to have to give my brother back his tapes and tape recorder. That was a long long time ago.</div> <bR> <div> I'm going to enjoy my new CD's!
