For Sandra, and others interested, here are the links to the unlisted videos of Marian Henderson on YouTube. They are well worth watching.

To Lin, Marian's recordings are scarce as hen's teeth. She was approached by someone wanting to re-release her recorded material a few years ago, but she did not give permission. She was suspicious of record companies and publishers, as she never received any return from any of her recordings. I downloaded a few mp3s someone had put on the internet a few years back, but they've now disappeared. Marian herself was not very pleased with Cameo. It was in the days of getting it all down in one take. There's one song she would never play to her friends. I have seen it available, I think from Japan, on CD. It must be a bootleg. Marian was quite amused that Cameo was selling for $500 on eBay. She did like the two songs she recorded on Harry Robertson's "Whale Chasing Men" album. If it's possible to get hold of a copy of that, it's a really good album.
