On the topic of Uncle Josh, I'm going back a long ways, but a minister in the Carolinas, named John Petty, was THE Uncle Josh fan. I don't know if he had accumulated a very extensive collection of UJ records or not, but he was identified with the recordings. I'm trying to identify the year, and it would have been before about 1994.He was a guy who worked on his car, and something happened where the car slipped off the jack, and killed him. While I'm not an Uncle Josh fan, I often wonder what happened to his record collection. We always hope that it fell to appreciative ownership. Sadly, Milford Fargo's Ada Jones collection was dispersed on his passing. > [Original Message] > From: BruceY <Bruce78rpm at comcast.net> > To: Antique Phonograph List <phono-l at oldcrank.org> > Date: 4/21/2008 10:59:18 PM > Subject: Re: [Phono-L] Uncle Josh and Ada Jones > > You should have sent a message to this list about Uncle Josh and Uncle Josh > records.
