Question
Song: Matilda (instrumental)  Artist: The Stringalongs

Song: Hang em High (instrumental) Artist Jimmy Smith

Answer
Hi, Cruz,

I could not find a link for getting a copy of "Matilda" by The Stringalongs, even though there were several links available, some even to sites that claimed to have other Stringalongs songs.

As for Hang Em High:  
I did find a link to  a reissued lp of the album Blacksmith by Jimmy Smith that includes Hang Em High. The lp is used, in good condition.
The link is:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001JT5ZCE/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=&...

No cd listings available for either.  I did see a listing on ebay for one of them.  
I don't encourage peer-2-peer stuff, since that is pirated stuff, and the artist doesn't receive royalties.

I can usually locate song by artist, excerpts and even circa around when the song was released in country, rock and other genres. ****** PLEASE do not ask me about videos. I do not watch them.******** I've been singing since I started talking, singing in public since I was 7. Still at it at 56. I have an extensive repertoire as well as lots of music. I also actively research for other people, including local djs, music that no one else can find, especially being given just paraphrased lines of songs. I'm the one @ karaoke that usually gets asked, "Who did this song?" or "Do you know a song that goes" and if it's country, I usually can name the song and artist, sometimes give within a couple of years the year of release. I've got a lot of lyrics in my database, as well as friends with working musicians who do open mic jams who have even more extensive databases than I do.
