kytrad (Jean Ritchie) | Origins: Johnny Todd (41) | RE: Tune Req: Johnny Todd | 21 Apr 09 |
I was best friends with Isla Cameron, in the London of 1952. She sang, "Johnny Todd" often when we had singing gatherings(and party food if anyone had spare food stamps). Eventually she sang it into our tape recorder microphone, so I have it somewhere still. It's a sweet, lively song, and Isla was, also. Would she were still with us. I believe it was also included in a children's songbook of mine, From Fair to Fair. (Oxford U. Press; now the U. Press of Kentucky). |
