message: David Sanjek, "All the Memories Money Can Buy", p.155-172 in This is Pop (2004), Eric Weisbard (ed.), Harvard University Press, , has an excellent discussion of Travis, centered around (but by no means limited to) his turn to pseudo-folk in 1947. A section of his article, p.162-167, "Wanna Be a Folk Singer?" is entirely about Travis. I recommend it to anyone who wants to expand this article further. Not a topic I'm particularly interested in working on, but if someone is interested and lacks access to the book, let me know (email me) and I'll scan the relevant 6 pages and pass them to you for your use. - Jmabel | Talk 05:20, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Good stuff to know. I've got some other foci right now, but I may one day expand the article some, since Travis is from my home county, and we just built a new music center named after him. Don't bother with scanning the pages on my account (although I appreciate the offer) but if I get around to this later, I may contact you.

message: My father, Bernard "Bear" Travis, also from Muhlenberg county, KY, who also plays the guitar "Travis-style" and performed with him quite a few times, states that Merle Travis always called it "Thumbpicking", as he does. Apparently Thom Bresh, Merle's son, came up with the term "Finger-Picking".Paganize (talk) 08:03, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
