  • Great idea, bringing this back to everybody's attention, Keith!


    I found some CDs that have quite a bit of Richard Hageman's material on them on Amazon. The link takes you to a list of Western-themed CDs. While you won't see Mr. Hageman's name visible in the titles, when you click on each one, you'll see it.
