[78-L] Bad news day

[Cary Ginell]

Travers never made 78s, to my knowledge, but she was singing and playing guitar in Greenwich Village's Washington Square as early as the mid-'50s, so it's entirely possible there's a field recording somewhere out there with her singing on it - albeit with a chorus of other people. I'm not aware of anything like this occurring there, but if there ever was newsreel footage taken of the folk singing around the Washington Square fountain on a Sunday, odds are she was there!

 

I've seen Pizza, Poo, & Magpie (that's what we called them in the Folklore world) in concert several times. Always entertaining and uplifting. "Puff" (which was NOT about drugs) was one of the first folk records I ever heard.
