Uncle Dave O said years ago up there ^ that he had found The Bum Song on Rose, the Record Lady's site.. which is long gone. But sneaky old me downloaded those about the time Dave was posting. I went to the listing he mentioned,51ae.ra .. and LO! There was the recording by Vernon Dalhart. Rose didn't include the song title and artist in the online version, but somewhere I got most of them named and printed. I have not renamed the Real Audio files on my computer, though... and can't do a direct search. It was great to find Uncle Dave's post.

Hooray for Mudcat keeping all our discussions...
