MFP's Minstrel Show for Children


Being a devotee of music and such from times past, this one really appeals as the thought of a record like this being released now is really er.. unthinkable! And the thing was aimed at children as well, brilliant!

If anyone out there is upset at the sight of a white man masquerading as a black man, then go and complain about Obama! Besides, Geoff Love penned 3 of the tracks on this LP and if it's good enough for Geoff..

Alas there aren't any jaunty tracks entitled 'Coming Over Here Stealing Our Women' or anything like that, but there is one called 'A Froggie Went a Courtin' which I thought was a bit strong. Geoff Love sings on that one by the way. It's an enjoyable listen, with a new twist given to one or two traditional songs - for example, there's a swing version of 'Ten Green Bottles' on side 2 not to be missed!
