A CHOICE COPY

Ervin "Vin" Bruce (April 25, 1932 - June 8, 2018)[1] was one of the first Cajun musicians to appear on the Louisiana Hayride and Grand Ole Opry.

Bruce was born in Cut Off, Louisiana. His father, Levy Bruce, worked as a trapper and fisherman, and played fiddle[2] at local Cajun dances, usually held in someone's front room.[3] Being from a musical family, Vin's interest in Cajun music grew and at the early age of 10 he learned how to play the guitar on his own. He also learned to sing.

Career
Bruce began his musical career playing guitar with the Southern Serenaders and the Hillbilly Swing Kings.[2]

On October 22, 1951, Bruce signed a recording contract with Columbia Records in Nashville, Tennessee and recorded all-time popular Cajun songs such as "Dans La Louisiane" (1952), "Fille de la Ville," and "Clair de la Lune,"[2] recording with Chet Atkins, Grady Martin, Tommy Jackson, Owen Bradley and Shook Jackson.[3] Vin was one of the first Cajuns to perform on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry and the Louisiana Hayride.[4]

In the mid-1950s, Vin's career took a downturn as Rock and Roll became popular.[4] Columbia released his contract, and Vin returned to Louisiana and raised cattle.[4][2] In 1961 he signed a contract with Swallow Records, and had a hit single with Jole Blon.[2][5]

For his contribution and performance in Cajun music, Bruce is known as "the King of Cajun Singers"[5] and has been inducted into the Nashville Music Hall of Fame,[citation needed] the CFMA Cajun Music Hall of Fame,[6] the Westbank Musicians Hall of Fame,[3] and was chosen the Lafourche Parish Citizen of the Year.[3]

A Quick NOTE ON GRADING AND SHIPPING:

As you can see from my feedback, I try hard to earn your POSITIVE FEEDBACK and FIVE STAR RATINGS.

If for any reason your transaction was NOT SATISFACTORY, pls contact me and I will work something out with you. YOU WILL NEVER HAVE A REASON TO GIVE ME A NEGATIVE RATING or a LOW STAR RATING.

Quick note on grading:

The Grade (Excellent to Poor, I don't give Mint) refers to the WEAR of the record. Any other defects are stated separately

When I listen to a record, I may also give it an aural grade (again E to P), and make a SUBJECTIVE judgment of the pressing quality for hiss and surface noise.
"SUPERQUIET" is basically noiseless, like a vinyl pressing.
"VERY QUIET" is an exceptionally quiet record for a given pressing.
"Quiet" is a record that is a great example without undue noise for a give pressing.

These judgments are SUBJECTIVE and will depend one the styli, phonograph etc. you use on your own equipment.

Multiple item shipping: I am happy to combine items for shipment in one parcel.

If you win multiple items, pls send me an INVOICE REQUEST to calculate the correct postage. Ebay check out will not give you the correct multiple item discount!

Records will be packed safely between corrugated cardboard in a sturdy box with plenty of padding for safe shipment.

Shipment is usually Media Mail, unless you request another service. Shipping is at your risk, I will be happy to insure items at your cost.

I charge actual postage plus a small fee for packing materials

As always, I guarantee your satisfaction. If you don't like the item, just return it, and I will refund the full purchase price.

If you are in the San Francisco area, I encourage pick-up in person.

US Domestic Shipping:

Here is a guideline for US Media Mail Shipping:

Prices below are for regular 78 rpm records. Up to about 5 records, I will ship Edison Discs for the same rates. Albums from Album Sets count as 1 record. Above that and for international shipments, it will be actual weight plus a small packing charge (1-3$ depending on size of shipment)

1 record: 4.75 – 5.50$

2 records: 6.50$

5 records: 8.00$

10 records: 12.00$

MANY MORE RECORDS: Don't worry. I safely ship 40 - 50 pounds of records double boxed in moving boxes, and even then Media Mail will probably not exceed 35$.

Please send me a message if you would like to get an estimate for you shipping rates!

I am very happy to ship records worldwide.

Please use the EBAY shipping cost only as a guideline. My actual charges are usually lower

One record usually ships for 25$ for 10" 25-35$ for most 12" records (Less for Canada).

 As always, I would appreciate any suggestions and corrections from you, pls contact me with any question.

Thank you very much, and good luck bidding !!!
