[78-L] Weavers on Hootenanny label

[Robert Shirer]

Cary Ginell or Lennick will probably reply before I have a chance to look 
further.  Off the top of my head, there was only this one release of the 
Weavers on Hootenanny.  It is a very good one, in my opinion.  I think the 
Charter recording of "Wasn't That A Time"/ "Go and Dig My Grave" predates 
it.  I'd have to check a discography which is far from me now, and I have to 
leave for a graduation party for an old student.
Cheers,
Bob Shirer
