Bud Swearer recordings question

[NW Mailing List]

 I would be very interested in knowing which Bud Swearer tapes you have.  I have or have access to all of Bud's N&W tapes including digital copies and have been working with several NWHS members to develop a CD or several CDs of his N&W recordings.  The society recognized the importance of his recordings and secured rights to his N&W recordings from his estate.  All we have is cassette tapes that several members have purchased.  No "master" tapes were found in his estate.   As a result, all other recordings have been lost.  Technically, they would not be part of our mission statement.   I have some GTW and PRR stuff, but I know he recorded many other railroads.  Personally, I'd be interested in knowing what you have. You can contact me off line if you want at

I have a personal interest in Bud's tapes because I knew him (very slightly) back in the day and a friend of mine accompanied him during one or two of his trips to Roanoke  to record.  He would go down the tracks with a sign "tape recordings" to encourage any aural supplements that the crews would provide.

 I didn't see anything about Bud on the list. I sometimes don't receive posts which I don't understand at all.
Anyway, years ago I got cassette copies of Buds stuff. Lots of N&W and other roads. Very interesting sounds. I would be very interested in them should the Society release them as CD's.

I recently read about Bud Swearer’s extensive sound recordings, many of which are N&W.  I’ve also read that the N&WHS has copied these with the intent of distributing in CD format “someday”.  Is there any activity on the topic?  I’d love to get a set.

  

For those interested in seeing a detailed list of recordings (not just N&W), go here.  Bud’s stuff is on it.
