12" LP | 60's Novelty | ca 1961 | Albany Salvation Army | Initially dissapointed by the chorus vocals, a thorough listening heightened my appreciation of the album. Typical String Band music, with the famous Twin Sax sound added for good measure. This music is no Beethoven, Bach, or even Salieri, but it's happy music. Good Fun. |
