[78-L] David Stone Martin

[Cary Ginell]

I have two early DSM albums whose artwork I like a lot. They are part of a two-set series on Disc called "America's Favorite Songs." Volume one features a drawing of a father reading a storybook to his two boys. The other has the image a family with heads bowed in prayer. These are on Disc 607 and 633. 607 features the Seeger gang (Bess Lomax, Butch Hawes, Tom Glazer). Vol. 2 features Cornelius Greenway's Smokey Mountaineers.

I just acquired a 3 record album on DISC label with Ruth Rubin performing Jewish and Palastinian Folk Songs from Eastern Europe.  Also, he did an album for Langston Hughes reciting his poetry (this cover was used later on a jazz LP, Pete Seeger, I think).

There are literally hundreds of web pages chronicling his work on LP covers, but I haven't been able to find much about his earlier work.  Any ideas where I might find this info?
