Let's see if he replies, and wants to participate.

For me Daryl R may handle everything (questions – updates – scans etc) between the Phoenix forum and Woody Blagman. He has a connection with him. Confidential if he wishes.

Thanks Daryl for this information.
In my opinion to be continued in a new topic "Norman Blagman - demos".

John,

Would you have a problem if I created a new thread with the title "Norman Blagman" or something like that? Or do you think that would be premature and I should wait to see if he joins Phoenix forum? After I created the thread, I could email him again with a link to the new thread.

No problem. New topics are always welcome.

Thanks Kevan for the additions; these demo versions were not mentioned in interviews around 2011 with Randy Starr by Trevor Simpson.
I don’t expect all these tracks to be included in project CD Presley Style – Lost songwriter demos vol. 2

There's a new book that Graceland put out called "Christmas at Graceland." In the book there's a photo showing the sheet music for two of the demos on the Randy Starr CD.

colonelsnow,

Did you get the higher resolution copy of the photo of these two pieces of sheet music I emailed you?

Also, I wanted to ask you if you have ever seen the Radio Recorders acetate label for the song, "Santa Claus Is Back in Town." The song title is labeled "Christmas Blues." The reason I ask is because there's a picture of the acetate label in this book as well.

I don't know if this is any better than what I sent you already.

I've thanked you by mail for sending better scans.

The scan with "Christmas blues" is new to me; thanks for sharing.
I've not seen any acetate from september 1957 recording sessions on Radio Recorders label.
