Description

[Note from Ruth Rubin’s typed catalog (R6620, black hard-bound notebook):] “Blind mans buff.” In 1957 I came across an old notebook with children’s rhymes and games, which I had collected before I had a tape recorder. These were taped a good deal from memory and the notebook. 41897 two different editions of the tape, Our (YIVO) tape has 39 tracks and the Library of Congress edition has 46 songs. These records are for YIVO edition of the tape. The LOC tape was the one digitized.
