Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Lincoln's Funeral Train
Hi, Guest. I'm around now & then. If'n you're gonna ask, Yes, I've still got the original 78s. Since about 1948. Happily, I taped it just before one of the disks broke in half. Been thinking about what kind of glue to use for a while.

Yes, Jim's clicky does seem to be the whole text but the music was marvelous.

It will likely appear on CD but the raw Socialist message might slow down any producer's perception of its commercial viability...

"Well I say: America for Americans!
What happens on the other side of the ocean shouldn't be any skin off our backs.
Isn't that right Mr. Lincoln?"

"Well I'll tell you, Ma'am:
It seems to me the strongest bond of human sympathy, outside your family, of course,
should be the one uniting all working people of all nations, tongues, and kindred!"


Happy New Year.
