Does anyone know if these are still available anywhere? I would like to buy them but they seem long out of stock and don't seem to pop up for sale often.

Is there anywhere to purchase them digitally perhaps?

Appreciate the help.

It looks like there is a copy of R.D. Lunceford’s “Dropthumb” available on Amazon.

Just ordered it. Appreciate it. Wasn't there the last time I checked. Now I just got to get my hands on Cotton Blossom.

R.D. is a member here. You might want to give him a shout.

Thanks folks.

I happened to have one remaining copy of Cotton Blossom which will be sent to Quentin.

I'll likely get a handful of the books printed up sooner than later. 

Having been on the market 20+ years, they weren't selling as briskly as they once did.

Some of my favorite playing and arrangements.

I'd happily purchase both books and recordings if they were to become available again. (As a relative newcomer to the world of Old Time, I have a lot of catching up to do!)

Have you thought about putting the recordings up on Bandcamp? (Seems to be one of the less bad options for digital distribuation these days.)

John;

I have a ton of the CD's but currently no books.

The CD's only have a tune list.  All of the information including the tunings are in the books.

I can see how that might not be a good selling point.  Whenever I get more books I'll announce it here on BHO.

The sales have not been brisk so I haven't invested in replenishing the book stock.

Thanks for this update. I just sent you a private message.
