No, I don't, Marv. But I will look for some.
As far as Al Downing goes, he didn't record that many songs as some others that were even less popular. Another one of his that I like is "Down On The Farm".
One of my very favorite songs is "Could I Have This Dance" by Anne Murray. Another is "Felina" by Marty Robbins - This is almost the same as "El Paso", but from the woman's point of view.
I have 3 or 4 songs that were recorded from Thomas Edison Cylinder Records that were recorded around 1901-1904. (The records, not the recordings). I also still have a 1905 model console Edison Phonograph that was given to my Grandparents as a Wedding gift by my Great-Great Grandparents. - Instead of cylinders, it plays disks. (About the same size as a 78 rpm record, but about 5/16" thick.)
