TheOldMole Folk 78s of the 40s and 50s (21) RE: Folk 78s of the 40s and 50s 20 Jul 00


My parents had the Burl Ives "Poor Wayfaring Stranger" album of 78s, and Paul Robeson's "Ballad For Americans." I have it now on CD, but to this day, every time I hear Robeson say, "Well, I'm tryin' to tell yuh!" I want to go and turn over the record. I recently got all the early Burl Ives stuff on CDF - Erik Darling told me he was the singer who most deeply influenced him.

And they had "Songs of the Veldt" by Marais and Miranda...anyone remember them?

And an album of folk songs for children, which I don't remember as well - one of them was "Paper of Pins."
