This video is from a 1965 PBS series for children called "What's New." I must explain the pressure I was under in all of these little videos. Each is taken from one of 6 half-hour shows all produced at Brooklyn college. I decided what I was going to sing, and wrote all of the intros. But - what I had to do was memorize the entire half-hour, including camera cues. The director (the late, wonderful Joan Sheppard,) did not want any edits. If I made a mistake 24 minutes into the taping, I had to start over. That's why even though I clearly am stumbling in this intro, and can't remember the script, I'm still plowing forth, unwilling to stop and start the whole show over! At least what I'm saying makes sense, right? I won't even get into the way I'm doing this beautiful old folk song. I hope you enjoy laughing at me.
