Ken Curtis CD Descriptions

[cd title card]

Here they are at last: Ken Curtis CDs. As I might of said before, these here are bootlegs that I made my ownself. I think they sound pretty good and I've tried to gussy 'em up some, but they ain't what you'd call professional. I'm asking $12.00 a piece fer 'em (and that there includes the postage.)
