Thanks GUEST for the extra lyrics!
Joe, I ordered the Todd-Sonkin recordings made in New York State (which include Ian Hoag) directly from the Library of Congress. You can order CD copies of most things from their archives, as long as you are using it for your own research purposes and not publishing it or profiting from it in any way. It's just VERY expensive to do so. There is so much more there I'd like to hear, but alas, I can't afford it.
Colleen Cleveland, granddaughter of noted singer Sara Cleveland, is unfortunately in the same position - - she'd like to have access to, and ultimately work with, the hours of recordings of her grandmother that are housed there, but she can't afford it. There's something very wrong with that picture.
