A couple days back, I blogged about a recording that my uncle made in Detroit, Michigan in 1956. Since then I've found out a couple more things that are interesting (at least to me).

First: I found some images of the actual 45 at Terry Gordon's Rocking Country Style. Terry graciously let me use this pictures in the story.

Second: I asked Terry where I might find an original 45 for my uncle. Remember, he no longer has a copy. Terry informed me that a copy of Kenny Layne's Froggy Went A Courting / Columbus Stockade Blues is worth roughly $500! Here's what Terry had to say exactly when I asked him further about the $500 value:

Casey -

The price guide to which I referred is "Rockabilly Record Guide" by Horst
Zimmermann, Bernd Wolf, and Heinz-Otto Zimmermann. It was
published last fall in Germany. I don't know much about values, so I
cannot attest to the accuracy of the price, but another guide from three
years ago also put the record in the $500-600 range. This kind of music is
highly collectible, especially in Europe.

I would be willing to bet that someone in my family or extended family has a $500 record in their attic right now.
