Back in the late 60s in Chapel Hill, dropped in to a record store and emporium (Kemp's), and there in the back picking and strumming was Ives. One of those bits of serendipity from living in an interesting place.

and also Mitch Miller. I think she wanted to turn us into singing kids. Didn't work, but we all enjoyed the records.
