I first heard "Little Moses" when the Bluegrass Band STRAIGHT DRIVE performed it wonderfully well at a New Jersey Folk Project spring festival. It's on their album "I'll Take a Page From Your Book". Here's a YouTube of them performing it somewhere. When I was four, five and six years old I had a babysitter, Mrs. Knoop, who was the amazing age of eighty years old. Every time she sat for me I insisted she read me the same story from a beautifully illustrated book from the Twenties that I still have: the story of finding Moses in the Bulrushes.
