Re: Bikel Singing Russian Songs

[Robert Cohen <rlcm17...>]

Has this not been answered yet?  Trudi's certainly correct about this 
beautiful track on a beautiful album (it's the genesis of "Where Have All 
the Flowers Gone?"), but that's surely not what Abraham had in mind (it's a 
compilation of songs from many lands).  Bikel recorded at least one album of 
entirely Russian material for Elektra, maybe two:  SONGS OF A RUSSIAN GYPSY 
was on EKL 150 as an LP.  (And I *think* it had a "Vol. II" sequel.)
