[78-L] Ja-Da

[David Lennick]

I've received a request on behalf of a 13-year-old whose mother has done some 
homework but may be asking for the impossible..she wants an original recording 
of the song Ja-Da but has asked for it by the composer, Bob Carleton. Did he 
record it? She'll settle for Arthur Fields on Victor. (And I don't know if she 
wants the actual physical 78 or a file.)

Here's part of the relayed request.
