Notes:

A very different world where a teacher might think of playing this for her (and almost certainly a "her" back then) students.

This LP was issued with two alternate covers, one for schools (I suppose) and one for the general public. A variety of titles, spellings, apostrophes, and descriptions. If you are interested, check the pictures of the LPs and the notes. As you see, on the sleeve of the school LP, the songs are identified by the profession connected (sort of.) Thus, "This Land Is My Land" is not included. The lyrics sheet has the same pictures as the LP cover, though cropped.

We welcome any suggestions, contributions, or questions. You send it, we'll consider using it. Help us spread the word. And the music. And thanks for visiting.
