Thread Name: Lyr Req: Love Is Teasin'
Subject: RE: Love Is Teasin'
Alice, that was lovely singing! I'm too dumb to put tunes here for folks, but I'll maybe get son Jon to play "O Love is Teasin," from my very first recording (also Elektra's first record)...issued in 1952, a 10" lp. In fact I believe, O Love is Teasin was the album title! It is almost as you sing it, which makes me wonder where you learned it!!! I myself learned it from Peggy Staunton, a lovely Irishwoman who worked in the kitchen at the Henry Street Settlement where I had my first NYC job (I majored in social work and that's why I came to NY from KY in the first place...). Peggy was a beautiful singer, and we'd usually end up step-dancing round the big diningroom after all the important folks left.

Someone told me that there was one of those old albums for sale on ebay recently, and it went for over $200! So, I'm gonna visit your website- will you return the visit? www.jeanritchie.com Happy New Century
