I have recently acquired a recording of the 1948 Grand Ole Opry show in which Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys
did three songs. I will transfer to CD and will make available to those interested. To my knowledge Bob and the boys played three shows there: the first in 1941 and the 1948 show and one later on. Since then the Texas Playboys have played there other times but this not with Bob.

Cliff Sundin was some what of a “techie.” He liked to record his phone calls. This is the only one I have access to right now.

Great site. I’m a lover of the Tiffany’s and maybe more interest them will help spark the release of the rest. Thought the call between Sundin and Bob was great. I assume it’s from Sundin’s stuff, any idea how it happened to be recorded and are there any more? I always like listening to Bob talk.

Very well done. It should be noted that Cliff Sundin’s financing for the Tiff’s project was apparently backed by Cliff’s sister Evelyn “Sunny” Sundin Ritchie. Evelyn was a famous concert solo pianist in the early part of the century and it was her money that Cliff used to finance the Tiff’s. This info is directly from John Telles, Nancy’s husband. Cliff also wrote “Tonight My Heart Crossed the Ocean” recorded by Jo Stafford in 1951, Kitty Kallen in 1954 and I believe Dale Evans. John Telles also said that a copy of the Tiffany Transcriptions was given to the Country Music Hall of Fame after Cliff’s death before the Kaleidoscope deal. Anyway, it’s good to see the history of the Tiff’s. Tim thowe1257@gmail.com

Several years ago a friend sent me an origional copy of that Transcription Flyer Red and Black. It is in mint condition.
I have made copies for friends and would be glad to send one to anyone wanting one. Thanks for all the information and work you have put into this information and making available.

I do not have any T-shirts. However, Down Home Music in El Cerrito, California (510-525-2129) found a stash of them in an old cabinet of their’s. They have some for sale, but warning! some of them, although they look fine, have rotted and as soon as you try to put them on they rip. If you do buy one try to get some kind of guarantee. Try EBay for the albums you’re missing.

Good question! I don’t know the answer. This is a question the Country Music Foundation in Nashville hopefully can help you with. It seems if they don’t know the answer, they should know who the expert on Opry recordings is. I’ll put the word out with the people I know. If you find out the answer, let us know.

This is totally off subject but I asked once before on another Bob Wills site and got no response. I was wondering if you knew if the performance Of Bob and The Playboys on The Grand Ole Opry exists? Is so have you heard it?
