Hi gang from the Coalman...I've been called worse. Hopeless Copeless was my name in early gradeschool... Hello Kendall and Jerry, long time no see.

Hi Kath, here's the info:

bcoltman@mdc.net

PO Box 4085 Chelmsford MA 01824

And many thanks for the nice words you guys. Rather a shock to find myself the subject of a thread...I keep thinking I'm so durn obscure.

As to where my records can be found, I have no clue. If there is a recording, CD or otherwise, available now, no one has informed me of it. My LPs for Minstrel, still less the early stuff, is long OP.

Discography (all from the 60s-70s):
Numerous singles on Fonotone (some of these may still be available from Joe Bussard, 6610 Cherry Hill Dr. Frederick MD 21702)
Jolly Joe's Jug Band   Piedmont (from Fonotone singles)
West Maryland Highballers Biograph (from Fonotone singles)
Lonesome Robin   Minstrel
Before They Close the Minstrel Show   Minstrel
Son of Child   Minstrel

Once again, the stuff hasn't been in print for 20+ years and I personally know of no way to get any of these, except possibly from Joe Bussard as above. Write him and ask for a current catalog of his Bob Coltman stuff and see if he has any.

Hope that helps...Bob
