I was told (see attached memo) that someone here might be able to help me in my search for Kenny Baker recordings, especially his religious ones. I do need to find them if at all possible. Can someone give me guidance?
Many, many thanks,

"Hello,
I'm trying, so far to no avail, to locate recordings done by Kenny Baker, particularly his religious ones. At one time there was a place in Californis where you could order them, but my address for them has long since disappeared, as has my collection of his records."
There's one CD available, but it's popular songs--not religious stuff. The CD is entitled "Love Walked In", and was published by ASV Ltd., 1 Beaumont Avenue, London W14 9LP England. The liner notes say to write for a free "Living Era" catalogue at that address. It was published in 1998, so you should still be able to find copies somewhere. It's a nice collection for Baker fans, and I have personally enjoyed it.
I know there are other Baker fans in the IJBFC ranks, so I would also recommend posting your interest to our Forum Bulletin Board on www.jackbenny.org. I would bet that someone there should be able to help you.
"Any help which you could give would be greatly appreciated."
Good luck, and let me know if you need any more information.
