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.

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!

(which was NOT about drugs) was one of the first folk records I ever heard.
