    I grew up in Baltimore and listened to promoter Ray Davis on WBMD in Baltimore for Hymn Time and Country Music. (Ray didn't call it bluegrass,
    I don't think, until he hit WAMU in Washington.) He had a record label called Wango, named, I believe, for his MD Eastern Shore Hometown.

    I have some of the Wango recordings (Clyde Moody, Stanley Bros. on the
    Air, and Original Rebel Soldier), and some County recordings that were
    Wango with the Stanley Brothers. The records were gems, recorded with a single mic in his basement. Better work than many multi trak efforts by a long shot.

    Can anyone supply a Wango discography?
    Where can I get Wango material? I am interested in "Letter Edged in
    Black" album on Wango especially.
    What would be the possibility of someone marketing a boxed CD set of Wango material?

    Thanks. Elliott Robertson
