Subject: RE: North Wind's Cookie, Lollipop Tree, et. al.
According to a listing in Billboard magazine, June 16, 1951, there was a record (45-rpm, I suppose), Columbia MJV-110, with THE LOLLIPOP TREE on one side and THE LITTLE TURTLE and THE MOON IS THE NORTH WIND'S COOKIE on the other; performed by Burl Ives and the Percy Faith Orchestra. Vachel Lindsay was credited as co-author of THE LITTLE TURTLE and THE MOON IS THE NORTH WIND'S COOKIE. (I suppose Lindsay wrote the words and Ives wrote the music.)
