Subject: RE: Help: Illinois/Chicago Songs
Are you thinking of the 2-LP album called COMPENDIUM we made around 1965 that had just the first verse and chorus of ALL the songs in the Old Town School Of Folk Music son book. It was just to give the tunes to all those songs to the school's students. --- We recorded it, using the teachers then: Ginni Clemmens, Fleming Brown, me, Ray Tate, Ted and Marsha Johnson, Win Stracke, Rae Schwartz Hahn, John Carbo, Guy Guilbert, Lynn Schwartz Norris, Jim Norris, Irwin Liebman, Norm Kantor---many others. Did it in a little recording studio we'd built at the Old Town Folklore Center where I was asst. manager in those days. John Carbo was the manager. We were downstairs of the School at 343 W. North Ave.
