Okay, I've been doing some research... A couple of the records I have
are just about irreplaceable (well, of the ones I've chosen to research) and a
couple others are hard to find. But I don't have a turntable and am not
likely to get one, ever. I can do a little more research and see if
anyone in this area is making copies of these for $$ or I can send them
to one of you. The records are:
"17 songs from The Pooh Song Book, starring Jack Gilford"
(Jack Gilford's Wikipedia bio is very interesting...) This music is special to me
as it is the first music for children I remember listening to. (We had
an old 78 of the music when I was little; this record is not the one we
had, but the music is the same.)
"The BabySitters", is an album of "folk songs for babies, small
children, parents and baby sitters" by the group, The BabySitters which
was Alan Arkin, Keremy Arkin, Lee Hays, and Doris Kaplan. The group
only made this and two other albums, in the late 60's, and then Vanguard
made a compilation CD of these in 1991 which is unavailable.
Other albums which I have but am getting rid of I'm not too worried about, as Peter, Paul and Mary and Simon and Garfunkel are pretty widely available, and the few other albums I have I am not so attached to.
One other that I have a sentimental attachment to: my Dad's copy of The In Crowd, by The Ramsey Lewis Trio. Unfortunately, the autographed jacket is badly damaged on one edge, though the record itself appears to be unaffected by the damage. The autograph is intact: "To Frank -- Ramsey Lewis".
Where do I go from here?
