Tell It Again

Mother Goose Suite - Songs Of Sense And Nonsence

Angel Records/Capitol 65041 (1957)

An oddity this one. Moondog and Julie Andrews...what a combination. It hardly ever rates a mention in Julie Andrews discographies. It is very rare and has not been re-issued. Without the sleeve to go by I can find very little information as to Moondog's involvement in this album. One source says he arranged the music, one that he wrote the music. Another that it is a collaboration with Martin Green. Julie Andrews did apparently have difficultly with the rhythms with this record, which does suggest the Moondog had a big part too play in the record.
