These digital copies were made from the best available; sound quality is low but one can get a sense of their style, very much based in the shaped-note tradition the four members came up in, with piano on some (likely played by Karen).","DVD 4 - Digital images of TI Miller's WWII dog tags, ribbons, medals, citations, discharge papers, etc.","Permission to publish or reproduce is required from the copyright holder.
