GUEST,Peter Jones, Labor Heritage Foundation Help: Makin' (Making) Whoopee (Union Version) (22) RE: Help: Makin' (Making) Whoopee (Union Version) 27 Apr 01


Glenn Plummer is now retired but he used to work for the United Food and Commercial Workers, for many years out of Pittsburgh. He also used to write a number of labor songs and parodies, including "Into a Union".

Tom Juravich recorded Glenn's song "Breaker Boy" on Out of Darkness, which is available from us.

I don't have an email address for Glenn, but his snail mail address is 43 MEADOW DR, GREENBURG, PA 15601 and his phone number is 724-837-0213. I haven't talked with him for a couple of years, but I assume the information is still good. And I also assume that he'd love to hear from anybody interested in the song.

Saul Schniderman is the Secretary of the Labor Heritage Foundation. For many years he edited Talking Union. We do have a complete collection in our archives. Saul works at the Library of Congress and is the President of his AFSCME local and of Council 26 here in Washington, DC.

If you are interested in labor music and culture, I encourage you to attend our annual Great Labor Arts Exchange which will be held June 17-19 in Silver Spring, MD. That's where I met Glenn and Saul many years ago.

Our website is at http://www.laborheritage.org

If you have other questions, I'll be happy to try and answer them.

Take care,

Peter
