[78-L] Bad news day

[David Lennick]

As I noted last night, she's on the Song Swappers LP on Folkways (did they make 
more than one?) and that's from 1955. Does anyone have the notes for that 
album? My disc was found scratchy and sleeveless in a junk pile in the 60s.

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!
