One comment, I have a hard time downloading from divShare, it does the 15 sec countdown and then goes back to the original link, with no download, about 90% of the time. I investigated a bit, and tried changing your link, with improved results.
For instance, I changed: http://www.divshare.com/download/10463055-d39 to http://www.divshare.com/direct/10463055-d39
and the odds of a good download increased to about 75%.
Just thought you'd like to know. Even so, it's worth the inconvenience. I'd rather download from MediaFire or Megaupload, but that's life.
One more thing, I just remembered I've got some old 45s packed away in the attic, the kind with 2 songs on each side, I'll see if I can dig them up and send you a list. I'm able to scan and rip the records myself, but that would have to wait until after our move.

Great blog, Red. Some very unusual/rare tunes.

Thanks again.
