A Cowboy and His Songs: Tuneful Tales of the Old West

Meredith, Henry: - Learning how to play the cornet from his father, Henry Meredith, Jr. went on to graduate with four degrees in music, majoring in trumpet, music history, and education. A noted performer on historic and modern brass instruments, a well-known band conductor and collector of antique musical instruments, as well as an award-winning university music professor, Henry Meredith always enjoyed his dad's singing and wanted to preserve his singular voice for years to come. The recordings that Hank Jr. made of Hank Sr. singing 29 cowboy songs in 1968 have spawned this compendium for musicians of all levels, as well as for scholars, teachers, and historians.
