Wouldn't you know I bought what looked like a mint copy of this record (but on
the associated Broadway label) in an original jacket, but, upon opening it,
found a 1" chunk missing. If you can't find a copy of this, I could tape what
remains of the side.

The Pickard version (he plays jew's harp) can be heard on David Holt's
"How to Play Jaw Harp" which I got from Elderley Instruments. Plus it has
some great tunes by Mike Seeger, Fred Whitlow and others.
