As you know, we do our best to post interesting information, historical music videos, a few good pictures, and a bit about my life in the music business, starting as a singer, then singer-songwriter, then music producer. I've had an uncommon life and decided to write about it but several years ago I was shocked to find out that Rockin Country Style (RCS) and the on line Rockabilly Hall of Fame mentioned me. Me on the Internet? It took some getting used to.
Christine Trzyna and I wrote for a long time before Google installed some basic statistical info gadgets on blogs and we find the data that comes up kind of interesting.
Christine, who is an American with Polish ancestors, tells me that suddenly a lot more readers are coming to the site from Canada and Poland. We think the Canadian hits are a result of Ted Stauton's record lable history site which we've posted on with links to his recent Wes Bryan page. (We thank you again Ted!) She likes the idea that there are Polish rock and roll fans checking in especially because she hopes to visit Poland someday. She went to the Polish festival here in Los Angeles last year at one of the oldest Catholic churches in the country and got to hear "The Polish Elvis" who came in from Chicago. She said he had a great voice and she gave him our contact info but he never got in touch after he left town.
We appreciate hearing from our readers and we want to thank you again for keeping us in mind - we know you only have so much time to get on the net. In the last year top hits came from USA, Germany, UK, Russia, Canada, Netherlands, France, Spain, Poland, and Australia. In the last month it was USA, Canada, Russia, Germany, Poland, Italy, France, Sweden, Brazil, and UK. In the last week or so it was USA, Russia, Brazil, Germany, Italy, Thailand, Japan, Canada, and Columbia. In the last few days Finland and India have been checking in too! We even got one hit from Uganda!
It makes us happy...

LINK TO TED STAUTON'S UNITED ARTISTS : WAIT FOR ME BABY : WES BRYAN LABEL and PAGE
We contributed an image of the United Artists red and black label that my song WAIT FOR ME BABY appeared on to Ted Stauton, and he sent us this page. He was so nice to credit me and provide links to the YouTube site and the blog.

WOW ! WHAT A FUN SITE ! TED STAUNTON's LABELS COLLECTION!
Just to take a pause here, you all just have to link to this fantastic site. A fellow named TED STAUNTON's got a RECORD LABEL COLLECTION (These are 78 RPM) that really illustrates the originality and beauty of functional art! (Now we know that Ted collected the records beneath these labels and we wonder what a record collection he has!)
Here's a little technology talk. These days there are still people who play music on hi-fi's, on 8 track cassettes, on reel to reel tape... Maybe nobody you know but we know them!
These people are using the equipment that plays the recordings the way they bought them or recorded them live because that sound quality is vintage - maybe the artists haven't given over to converting the recordings. These vintage music enthusiasts love the crackle and the pops - the vintage sound of the old recordings. They love being able to change the bass or the treble. They can remember being off stage when a band performed and like the screaming in the background.
Christine and I are often trying to figure out which Youtube or other video we want to post because we love original performances and think our readers should see what the artists looked like when they sang those songs - history! (OK, no more cracks about how I'm History!)
People were buying 78 RPM versions of records that were also released on 45 RPM's for some time. I bought my first GUY MITCHELL record on 78 RPM in the mid 1950's and I believe that my first United Artists release was also put on a 78 RPM version.
