[78-L] Test -- and young record-spinners.

[Michael Biel]

Ron is right. There is nothing racist about the STORY of Little Black Sambo. The kid is in India and is not really Black. The story is, however, Colonialist, and that is the U.K.'s background and King Charles' current problem. The several versions I have are on RCA Victor with Paul Wing. I understand there is a French colonialism problem with the story of Babar, which is on Decca with Frank Luther. And these are Elephants, for Pete's sake. Groucho Marx's Funniest Song in the World on YPR had the solution to it all by using nonsense lyrics.

I've got Little Black Sambo on a two disc (I think) Columbia set that is
great.  I still can't figure out what is racist about this little kid in
Inda learning to obey his parents.

For ideas and playable examples of kids 78s, go over to our friend Peter
Muldaven's website kiddierecordking.com Darrell's mentioning of the Capitol
record readers is great. There are the Looney Tunes ones, but if you want to
instill the love of good music, Rusty in Orchestraville and Sparky's Magic
Piano are classics. RCA has Disney sets of Snow White, Cinderella, Pecos
Bill, Peter Pan, and Sterling Halloway's version of Peter and the Wolf. The
original Richard Hale is on Red Seal, and Basil Rathbone on Columbia.
Someone mentioned Young People's Records. Those and Children's Record Guild
had many that infuriated the McCarthyites during the red scare era. They
made me the liberal I am today :-).
And if you can find the Ginger Rogers Alice in Wonderland on Decca, that
will be unforgettable for her.

And don't forget all the Capitol "sets" of pages and records!
