The two Columbia sides were never issued. They couldn't get over that. They said I was the first one to ever record in that studio who didn't have to play something more than once. Only one of those tapes, however, was a gift of music for someone else. That particular tape with a large number of tunes and conversation was made by DeFord in December specifically as a Christmas present for David's father who had long been a fan of the Harmonica Wizard.

On the tape David explains why it is being made and DeFord extends a personal greeting to "Mr. Wilson Morton" in Shawmut, Alabama, and then proceeds to play many of his favorite tunes. As usual in David's visits with DeFord, much conversation inevitably took place in the taping, showing their relationship, as well as providing a most valuable recording of many of DeFord's tunes.

David took the tape to Alabama at Christmas in as a gift from DeFord Bailey, and returned with a large ham, and other presents from his father and mother for his friend. Wilson and Edna Morton kept the tape as long as they lived, and frequently played it. After their death, David brought the tape home with him.

In early David had the tape digitized and gave copies to DeFord's children, ex-wife and special friends who had helped him in calling attention to DeFord's accomplishments. Later in the year Andrew Morton persuaded his dad to make this special "Christmas present" of DeFord's music available on this web site. We think you'll enjoy it!
