Thanks for posting all these tunes, Neal. Could you possibly put the Touchet's list of songs on your site? Steve Riley does " La Vie Je Croyais Je Voulais" on his Instructional CD and tells the story that at the funeral of his brother(the accordion player in their band)Willis Touchet taught this song to David Greely, right there in the funeral home. Does anyone know the accordion playing brother's first name? Also, I guess that I could buy Steve' album, but does anyone have the lyrics to this ( The Life I Thought I Wanted) little two-step?
Thanks.

I subscribed to emusic for a while and their music was never on it. At least nothing that interested me. I just did a search at Walmart Music and found Adam Hebert's album that you can download by the song. Don't know about iTunes.
I have a question about iPods. Let's say you're driving. How in the world do you find music and change songs on that little bitty thing no bigger than a cell phone without being distracted from the road? Changing a cd and forwarding to another song doesn't seem so dangerous.
Actually, I sent them an email yesterday asking if they had plans for digital download. I pointed out that it's a great way to keep things from ever going out of print, or having to store boxes of CDs in a warehouse. I'm anxious to see what they have to say.

Me too, it has bugged me for a long time that so much great old music is hidden away with no access to it. I understand there is maybe not enough market to put out cd's, but if it is all digitized, it doesnt seem to this uneducated mind like a bad idea to make by the song purchasing an option with little clips like Neal has. The precedent is already set by several sources and it seems to be successful.
Neal, I apologize for the ambiguity. I meant would it be possible for you to include some of the full length Touchet songs on the http://npmusic.org/artists.html site,
Thanks, JB
Thanks JB. I guess it goes by contract and by law. If the artist dies, royalties go to the heirs, and if there are no heirs, then there are no royalties to be paid. I guess that's why the music of long ago sells for today's prices, hein?
