Steve Forwarded Message: Subj: barbershop Date: 3/15/03 2:08:50 PM Eastern Standard Time From: <A HREF="mailto:[log in to unmask]">[log in to unmask]</A> Dear Mr. Ramm, I'm a graduate student at Penn working on a dissertation on barbershop quartet performance in Philadelphia, 1900-2002. Tim Brooks mentioned that you might know where I could locate recordings of male vocal quartets from the early part of the last century. They would have appeared in a variety of venues, including minstrel shows, radio shows, advertizing jingles, and vaudeville acts. I'm especially interested in recordings of groups from Philadelphia, e.g. the Quaker City Four. Have you run accross any such recordings, or do you know anyone who might? Thanks for your assistance. Yours, -Rick Mook Ph.D. Candidate University of Pennsylvania
