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
