Re: Please help me get this 78 record!

Some years back I had talked to a children's record collector who never heard of this title.
I have a friend who's grown son specializes in these records. After an exhaustive search he found the title mention, and, that it was recorded on 78, but, that's the only mention they made of it.

Re: Please help me get this 78 record!

Thanks. I wish I could find the record. It's really tough to get.
I now know there were 2 other schools that used to have that record. One was in Geogia.
Both other copies are gone..... :(
