Chicago Mob Scene ---- an LP featuring various folks singing around Chicago in the mid 1950s-----Gibson sang under the name of "Samuel Hall"---he once told me he did that because of wanting to "avoid other professional commitments conflicting with his being on that LP".

Oyher singers on it were Larry Ehrlich--a Chicago labor lawyer who wrote parts of "Done Laid Around This Old Town Too Long" (shares copyright with Paul Clayton, Pete Seeger, Bill Monroe, Billy Grammer & others probably).

LP featured a Ben Shahn-like drawing on the cover of the street signs at Chicago and Dearborn in that city. Old folkies (like me) will recall that those coordinates were the location for an early folk mecca/club/bar, THE GATE OF HORN----where Gibson was a star in the early 60s and which featured many other larger names of the era. I saw a barefoot Joan Baez open for Gibson there (before he introduced her to stardom of her own at Newport Fest '59 (I think).

Fone memories...

But I have about three quarters of the LP on cassette somewhere. The actual LP disappeared long ago.
