No, sorry. I used to sell some of my CDs but I stopped doing that when it began to take up too much of my free time. Greater mortals than you have exercised their immense powers of persuasion to try and convince me to sell them my CDs. They have all failed, and you can be assured that you will fail as well, so please don't ask.
Can I give you a blank CD-R in trade?No, sorry. It must be a recording.
Can I trade MP3 CDs with you?No, sorry. I only trade MP3s online.
Do I have to trade something to you from your want list?No. Of course, my first priority is trading for items from my want list. However, I like all kinds of music and I'll consider just about anything in trade.
What kind of recordings will you accept in trade?I'm willing to trade for the following types of items only. Please don't try to offer me anything else in trade.
- CD-Rs by artists whose work is obscure and/or hard to find. (Hint: It isn't rare or hard to
find if I can order it from any of several places on the internet). If you're in doubt about this
point, please ask.
- Certain bootlegs.
- Pre-recorded CDs (new or used), as long as the jewel case, CD and liner notes are in good
condition (NO missing sleeves, original sleeves only). One or two light scratches are okay as long as there is no problem
playing the CD; however, significantly scratched CDs are NOT acceptable. Again, if you are in
doubt about this, please ask.

I'm looking for B. W. Stevenson recordings. Can you help me find them?Yes, I'd be happy to help you. First though, please read the article in my Music Articles section titled B. W. Stevenson: His Music And Where To Buy It. I have some collecting tips that are specific to B. W. Stevenson.
I'd be interested in attending a tribute concert to B. W. Stevenson. Would you like to organize such an event?I would love to attend a concert like that myself. However, there are several reasons why I wouldn't be a good candidate to organize an event like that, the most important reason being that I no longer live in Texas. In order to assure the best attendance at a tribute concert, you would probably need to have it in either Austin or Dallas. A concert of any kind is also pretty expensive to setup. I have neither the financial means nor the expertise to organize something like that.
I'm looking for Rusty Wier recordings. Can you help me find them?Yes, I'd be happy to help you. First though, please read the article in my Music Articles section titled Rusty Wier: His Music And Where To Buy It. I have some collecting tips that are specific to Rusty Wier.
I notice that you have a recording listed on your website called Roots' Reggae by a group called Kittitian. Do you know if they have any more albums? Do you have any contact information for the group?Sorry, I don't have any information on the group at all. I actually bought my CD some time ago at a Christmas Adopt-A-Family fund raiser at work, but I have no idea who donated the CD or if they would know any more than I do. If I find out anything, I'll be glad to post it here on my website. Perhaps one of the group members will see this and contact me with a URL to their website or some other information.
I'm looking for a recording by another artist. Can you help me find it?Yes, I'd be happy to. First though, please read the article in my Music Articles section titled Using The Internet To Further Collecting Efforts. I have some general search tips, plus a few links to websites that just might help.
Do you know where I can find sheet music for [insert song name here]?Sorry, I don't have any information at all on any kind of sheet music. Your best bet would be to search Google.
Do you have the guitar chords for [insert song name here]?Sorry, I don't have the chords for any songs at all. You might have some luck searching Google.
I have a recording that's only available on vinyl but I'd like to have it on CD. Can you help?Possibly. If you're interested in transferring it to CD-R yourself, I have a tutorial on that subject in my Vinyl Restoration section titled Turning Vinyl Into Digital Gold. Another option is paying a company like CVC Productions to do the transfer work for you . I had them do some work for me before I had capability of doing it myself. Their prices are quite reasonable and the quality of work is excellent.
Can I get MP3s from you?Yes, as long as the songs you want are out of print / hard to find, or bootlegs, and I already have them on my hard drive. If I have time and feel like it, I may rip a song or two and make them available for you. Please ask about song availability before assuming that you'll get what you ask for.
I'm willing to send you one or two MP3s by e-mail (subject to availability -- see previous comment), but first make sure that your e-mail program doesn't have a cap on the size of e-mails sent and that you are able to accept attachments. MP3s are typically 3 to 4 MB in size, which will usually exceed the e-mail size limit, if there is one.
If you'd like any more than a couple of MP3s - like say, a whole album (again: out of print / hard to find and bootleg only) - you'll have to get them from me via FTP. Just let me know, and I'll set you up with a user name and password on my FTP server. If you don't already have an FTP client, there are plenty to choose from. Just search the internet and I'm sure you'll find one that meets your needs. You're on your own though with regard to choosing one, getting it setup on your PC, and figuring out how to use it.
Just a few more words about using my FTP server. I may make one album available for you, but don't expect me to rip my music collection for you one album at a time because it ain't gonna happen. After ripping the one album, if you're unable or unwilling to send me any MP3s that I'm interested in, don't be surprised if you get your FTP account cancelled. If file sharing to you is just a one-way street; i.e., all take and no give, there are still a few free P2P networks that I'm sure will meet your needs.
Absolutely! I'd love to hear from you.
