Information/Write-up

Here’s one I’ve only seen twice in my many years of 78 hunting. Some home-made Western Canadian C&W with steel guitar, rhythm guitars and, on one side, Hammond organ! Wild stuff, for sure. Don’t know a thing about the Twilight label although I’m wondering if Al Reusch, of Aragon, maybe arranged for these records to be pressed in the US, at the same place he had his Aragon 78s pressed. Nice green and silver labels with a drawing of mountains over the Twilight logo.

That's incredibly cool that you have these. Loyd (actual correct spelling) and Leta are my grandparents and I have quite a few copies of these songs, as well as several other recordings of theirs. It's pretty cool to find them on this website. Loyd also wrote the Alberta Centennial song, plus many songs for the Welsh Men's Choir. He actually met my Grandma in Calgary even though they were both born and raised in Wales, UK. My Grandpa also worked at the Atlas Mines in Drumheller for a while, before settling on the West Coast.
