Oh WADE in the WATER was on one of the seven (7) LPs I owned as a kid! Wow, I must have listened to it ten thousand times and was still sad every time the last note played.
We had that record too – I wore it out, and had save up my allowance to buy a new one.
I’m trying to remember the other six. (1) Herbie Mann, “Family of Man”; (2) Gershwin something; (3) Dave Brubeck something; (4) Giora Feidman something; (5) Ron & Nama something; (6) Mary Martin in Peter Pan. !!! YAY I REMEMBERED!!
Good Choices all
