GUEST,Paul F. Anderson	Origins: Oleanna (Ditmar Meidel, Norway, 1853) (42)	RE: Lyr Req: Oleanna as by the Gateway Singers	28 Jul 07
Pete Seeger made two recordings of Oleanna for Folkways Records. The first one appeared on the 1955 album "Folk Songs of Four Continents". The second one appeared on the 1956 album "With Voices Together We Sing". In 1958 Gene Bluestein recorded Oleanna in Norwegian and English on the Folkways album "Songs of the North Star State". The English lyrics were by Seeger except for the following verse by Bluestein. "And when you plant potatoes, it's never very risky. From each little one you plant you get a quart of whiskey." SMITHSONIAN GLOBAL SOUND The Smithsonian Global Sound web site has Seeger and Bluestein's recordings of Oleanna. One can listen to a sound sample of each or download them at a cost of 99¢ per song.
