For the past three years I have been working on this CD set selecting the old 78 rpm records of many forgotten tamburitza orchestras, transcribing with relatives in the old country, translating the words, and writing summaries of the songs.  

        As you may know, I have been in the "international" record business virtually all my life, some 59 years, and specializing in tamburitza and other music of the Balkan countries.   Fortunately, I accumulated a collection of records of the old (but in pristine condition- never sold) 78 rpm records. A large part are from a "Yugoslav" record and book store which folded just before WW2 and were held in storage in San Francisco; I bought the lot in 1949.

        Special thanks to the people who encouraged this project, helped with information, and made suggestions.  In this way this tamburitza music will be promoted to the general public, including musicians, ethnomusicologists, and all interested in folk music.  We thank you for whatever help you can give us in promoting this CD and, with it, tamburitza music.
