THE GATEWAY SINGERS The Gateway Singers recorded Oleanna on the 1958 LP "Gateway Singers at the hungry i". This album (Decca - DL 8671) is now available as a CD at this web site: http://www.starbeams.com/ LINER NOTES FROM THE ALBUM Oleanna - Old Bull, an extremely successful violinist of the 1800's, attempted to buy a part of Pennsylvania as a home for some of his poor and homeless fellow Norwegians. His philanthropy was doused when it turned out that the men from whom he had "bought" the land didn't own it, and there is nothing left of his utopia, Oleanna, save this song.
