The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I would like to buy any Austin Pete records anybody has. His real last name was Pitre but a producer messed up his last name on most records. He is my Great Uncle, so I would like to own at least one of his records.

He was a cajun singer/musician.

Still looking! Thanks.

Have you ever tried Kurt Nauck record auction? He might have what you want. He also can locate these records for you out from his auctions. Check www.78rpm.com ...
He's also in this forum, as nauck.

Thanks Inigo. He said he sometimes runs into them but hasn't in a few years.

Oh, pity...
Another, more remote, possibility that comes to mind is the people at Recordsmith and memory lane, at Richmond, va. They also run periodic auctions with 78s, some theirs and others from particulars on consignment. They aren't as populated as naucks, but asking then is a minimal effort.

Bookmarked both. Thanks!

Wish you luck!
