Subject: RE: Gateway Records/Tunes for Tots
This record has mostly nursery rhymes...SeeSaw Marjorie Daw, Three Blind Mice, Old King Cole etc. with great sound effects and comedy in it. The songs I'm using are "The Talking Harmonica"...the harmonica wants its mother and a drink of water; "Bimbo" ; "Daffodilly Duck"...the duck can't quack right but ends up being a hero. The record itself is thicker and heavier than most of my 33's, and feels more like my old 78's. It also says "Long Playing 33 1/3" which makes me think it was pressed around the time that 33's were first introduced. I don't know when that was. I got the record at a yard sale in the sixties and it was very used then. I'm guessing thirties or forties production. It has kids in the background talking, one of whom has a Shirley Temple 'accent'.
