Thank you for sharing these videos of one of my very favorite artists. A great music historian, a unique vocal talent and a superb guitarist. My father introduced me to his music when I was a little boy, and I have listened to RDB for over 40 years with great appreciation.

where can I get these recordings? I love listening to him just talk about the ballads.
