Herb Ellis, a jazz guitarist whose polished, blues-inflected playing earned him critical acclaim as an outstanding soloist and worldwide recognition as a member of the pianist Oscar Peterson’s trio, died Sunday at his home in Los Angeles. He was 88.
Visiting with a good friend, we swapped stories while sitting on a wall in the alley behind our offices. It was the first warm day of the year. My friend told me how he would sneak in to the state fair. “That was before you went to law school, I assume”, I said. My friend is also my lawyer.
From the desk of Bobbe Seymour: I have been asked, as have many players, what got me started being a musician. Well, I have the answer. It’s not just an answer, but also a recommendation.

Tom Wardle supports traditional country music and does weekly broadcasts and internet webcasts. Webcasts always feature the unsung independents and many well known artists who are keeping traditional country alive. Formerly with WDVR-FM in New Jersey for over thirteen years, fans of traditional country music, and independent artists, certainly appreciate this fine venue. “It’s a pleasure to help keep traditional country alive and well, in my small way”, said Wardle. “If it ain’t traditional, it ain’t country!”

Grayson and Henry Whitter, when it was released by light-opera singer Vernon Dalhart, it became the first million-selling record in the United States, and then the lawsuits started.
Recently we asked our international traditional country music viewers about music delivery. Specifically we said “Next, we will build a secure WORLDWIDE system for CD-to-radio station distribution, from and to EVERY COUNTRY.” After many emails and comments we prepared our findings, presented in this document.
