(There's a Blue Ridge Round My Heart) "Virginia" - the version I grew up with, owned by my late mum, was a 78 from about 1930 with an absolutely superb little trumpet break at the end, positively Satchmo.

"The Lass With The Delicate Air" by Mavis Bennett - again from around 1930. Originally from the period of the Beggars' Opera. It has been recorded since by Julie Andrews but errr....I don't think I want that version.

One which I first heard about 1968 on John Peel's programme was "Collegiana" by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - tracked that one down on a double album called "Rare Junk" also containing the deathless "Even Fat Boys Can Make It In Santa Monica"
