Songs Of The Pogo

Songs Of The Pogo
By Walt Kelly with Norman Monath
Simon And Schuster 1956

I found the original LP with lyrics booklet today. This collection can be found remaster on CD or by the song on Amazon.

What intrigued me was that not only did Walt Kelly, the cartoonist, write the lyrics but he also sings a few tunes. He has a rather booming fun voice.

One of my favorite tracks is Don't Sugar Me, Sung By Fia Karin (she does a few tracks and they are all very nice).

More information on the illustrious career of Walt Kelly can be found on Wikipedia.
