Thanks, rich r, for the geographic background. I always wondered about that.

Obray Ramsey was a favorite of mine and I bought and have always enjoyed his LPs on Washington and Prestige as has my friend, Bob Conroy. Sometime in the mid-1970s, Obray Ramsey was singing at the Philadelphia Folk Festival. It was at a big evening concert and I was standing off on the side as Obray sang "Young Edwin in the Lowlands Low." It was very, very nice, I was quite struck by it and I made an audible comment to the effect that I had never heard him sing it before. The guy standing next to me said, "I haven't either!" I looked at him and it was Ken Goldstein who had produced all of his recordings.

All the best,
Dan Milner
