Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Let the Band Play Dixie (Bob Gibson)
There's another recording of the song on the Gibson album, Uptown Saturday Night, originally released in 1984 and produced by Anne Hills. Uptown Saturday Night is one of five CDs released in 2008 by Bob Gibson Legacy, under the loving care of Bob's daughter Meridian Green. Meridian has formed a group, The Fare-Thee-Wells, to perform Bob's music at various venues around the country. All members of the group have been playing Bob's music for decades.

Next month, they will be doing 3 shows in Evanston, IL, followed by two big weekends on the east coast, in Saratoga Springs, NY, Cambridge, MA and Baltimore and Frederick, MD. Info here: Bob Gibson Legacy web site. (See the Concerts page for details on the shows).

They are working on another tour in June.
