over daunting adversity on life's stage through the past quarter century, and his fans all around the world join in sending him warmest congratulations on his extraordinary achievements and the celebration of his 75<FONT SIZE="1" COLOR="#FFFFCC" FACE="Arial" >th</FONT> birthday on September 23, 2007.  </div> <bR> <div> Mixing that incredible vocal range with  the ability to profoundly touch the heart or create an instant smile, Travis Edmonson is a performer just as well known for his gift to draw each member of the largest audience into a direct one-to-one relationship.</div> <bR> <div> But there is more.  With Travis Edmonson, there is always more.  He was at the vanguard of the movement to bring Latin music north of the border.  His live shows were not just dazzling, but acknowledged to be electrifying.  And the emotions they generated, as much as sessions playing his recordings, have lingered not merely beyond the afterglow of these experiences, but into decades of preciously coveted memories for all his fans.</div> <bR> <div> The <A HREF="music.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Music from Bud and Travis">MUSIC</A> section is now your portal to all the Bud & Travis and solo albums, as well as to many individual songs.  We hope you will enjoy the 90 music samples on this tribute which can be found on the individual album pages.</div> <bR> <div> In the <A
