World Full of Roses, Merle Travis

In 1970 Merle Travis had this single out and Curly Chalker did his thing and it had such a great sound and I have never been able to find it anywhere. If anyone has any clue, I would sure love to add this to my collection of Artists with Chalker, thanks, Gary.

Thanks Smiley, I'll sure give it a try. After all these years of searching, could it be possible my search is over? Hope so, and what a help you've been, Gary.

Smiley, You were able to do what no one has been able to do.
After more years than I'll admit to, you were the main man to steer me in the right direction. The one place you put me onto had the very record I wanted and it arrived today in pretty decent shape, considering the 34+ years since it was released.
And thanks to Mike Gross of Swingin' West radio show on the net that also saw this plea. He offered to play that version but also another cut made ten years after the first one with Reece playing the steel.
He offered to play them both so that I could record them off the net. I still may take him up on it.
Much thanks to you both. Now, I'll try to find another missing link out of my past to pursue for the next #$1/2 years.(I know what I just typed. I told you I was shy about admitting the time involved, haha) Gary.[This message was edited by Gary Walker on 14 January 2005 at 11:16 PM.][This message was edited by Gary Walker on 14 January 2005 at 11:17 PM.]
