Arthur Argo put out a LP called "A wee thread of blue" In the late 1950's also I remember an album 0f 78's which would have been in the late 1940's that included the dinghy song. These were refered to as Party Songs. also in the late 40's there was a record half in english and half in yiddish which was was for a clothing store called Joe andPaul's something about giving your son twenty five cents and send him to cock-eyed Jenny. THese were considered to be quite risky at the time.
