Hi Chris!
Just came across your site whilst browsing the web.
Playing 'Freight Train' as your first 78 caught my eye and persuaded me to dig into your site.  Very entertaining.
Keep on Rockin'
Chas McDevitt.

Hello,
          Are you Chas McDevitt who sang the song ? If so, I am honoured. I loved the song as a small boy one or two years back ! You in the States ?

Hi Chris
Yes I am the 'original', not a tribute group!  Live in Eton.
Still playing now & then. Have an interview on Radio 4 Tuesday 5 July @ 1.30 re. Lonnie & Skiffle.
My web site should give you some info, tho' it is more of a cobweb site; I can't keep it up to date. www.chasmcdevitt.com
I was just fascinated that you could remember the first record you ever played and delighted that it was Freight Train.
    Cheers, Chas. McD.
