Plus some children's music with a railroad theme.
I am really not into US country/folk/gospel music or Southern rock so I can offer no advice here as what to buy and what to avoid. Besides, musical taste in highly personal.
I bought some books, maps and such from the Chessieshop and can testify they are reliable and swift in fulfilling your order.
Don't forget Oscar Peterson's classic jazz album "Night Train", http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_Train_%28album%29 and http://www.amazon.com/Night-Train-Oscar-Peterson/dp/B0000047D4
That is a rather blurry SP Black Widow F-unit on the cover, right?
