Owen Woodson Happy Birthday O.J. Abbott (1872-1962) (11) RE: Happy Birthday O.J. Abbott (1872-1962) 03 Sep 12


Don't forget Far Canadian Fields which was released as Leader LEE 4057 as a companion to the Penguin Book of Canadian Folksongs in the early 1970s. It was the first clue I received as to the riches of Canadian folksong and which is now almost totally unobtainable, due to the shenanglings of Mr D**E B****R .

If anybody ever fancies doing a bootleg and ruining Mr **** ******'s day, here's the tracklist.
