It's great that the music of this wonderful guy and folksinger is available for all to hear. Sam is one o' the best ever. For those of you who have not heard Sam Hinton's Decca Lps or the several he made for Folkways, well, you're in for a treat.

(You've got to hear "It's A Long Way To Amphioxis" even if the biology involved was off the mark. It's on one of the Folkways albums---along with "Harry Herman"---a song about a guy digging clams on a bet with a lady who says she'll marry him if he will dig 6 barrels of clams on a ten foot tide.)
