Pre-1954 Tape

This collection was given to us by someone who wishes to remain anonymous. He said that he received it previous to 1954, when he graduated university, as a 7" reel to reel tape in an unlabeled box from a professor who was a friend of Pete Seeger . The titles & performers are our guesses. If you wish to listen to the recordings, please download the ZIP file of the recordings.

This tape includes a version of "Down In Lehigh Valley". This song, as far as we know, has never been commercially recorded.
