Great godamighty, folks! Is that the real BOB COLTMAN up there, joining us at last? I hope so, and I hope you all will give him the enthusiastic welcome he deserves.

We heard a Creighton recording of "Peggy Gordon," Bob, from Nova Scotia, and thought her informant was singing "PennSLAvania." Was it Amos Jollimore? Anyway, I don't recall that the marble stones were "running," although we could have rationalized it as Caroline was learning it.
