Dear Radio Pals,
         I'd like to let you know once again about my recent releases.
Thanks to those of you who have already requested and played them. The
latest is  Slide &Joy! an all-instrumental disc featuring my dobro
playing. There are cuts that would fit bluegrass, jazz, blues, and
celtic formats. It features many fine players including John Reischman,
John Miller, Ruthie Dornfeld, Steven Bernstein , and more. The current
issue of Dirty Linen gives it a "highly recommended" tag.
        My other recent release is  Blueprint for the Blues a disc
devoted to my style of acoustic blues with vocals and original tunes as
well as some of my faves from Rev. Gary Davis, Henry Townsend, Clarence
Ashley. and Willie Dixon. Blues Revue said about this one " Orville
Johnson's craftsmanship is a thing of simple beauty". Please request one
or both from me off-list at orvillej@home.com
        Also,a question for you DJ's. Is there a blues dj list where i
can also inform the blues spinners about my stuff? Thanx for your help
and keep up the good work
sincerly
Orville Johnson
