OK, I emailed Rob Carlson. Sounds like he will re-record Rummy for us. I never saw "The Glouccestermen." I got the song from the radio. But I think Rob would also be interested in re-recording the other songs from that WGBH special. I mentioned that there were others, besides me, who were not only interested in Rummy but other songs. We'll see. I had also contacted Tom Roush to see if he knew the song, and if he did, could he record it. He was interested but naturally needed to know about the copyright. If you've not heard Tom Roush singing, look him up on YouTube. I love his voice. He sings a lot of songs from the Civil War era. And he has a lot of the old photos that accompany his singing. He's done a great job of combining the two.

So I'll keep you all posted on Rob's response. If he doesn't respond, I'll pester him until he does. Tom too. There's another thread here on Mudcat (http://mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=135060) that I'll post this same message. I'd rather just combine it into one thread, but there were several other people over the years who may just be returning to check that other thread, so I'll post this same message on it.

It's a shame that we lost Joe Garland.
