LP[edit]

"A vinyl LP of Carl Sandburg reading some of the stories, Rootabaga Stories as told by Carl Sandburg was released on Caedmon (TC 1089) in 1958."

It seems like the LP has not been issued on CD... If that never happens, when does the original LP audio enter public domain? In what countries would this happen first?-69.87.204.8 20:37, 4 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

1958 TC 1089 - Carl Sandburg - Rootabaga Stories (reissued by Caedmon in 1978 as SPS-4)

Carl Sandburg's Rootabaga Stories - As Told By Carl Sandburg (Vinyl)
When I was a little girl there was a radio program from KPFA called "The Featherball" It was full or wonderful stories, I was very fortunate that my parents recorded them & so Carl Sandburg read to me.
I can still hear the cadence in my head.
I would love to hear it with my ears again.
One of the most beautiful & lyric things out there." -96.237.13.111 (talk) 22:01, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Animal or fool?[edit]

In the paragraph relating Sandburg's description of the storyteller (Potato Face Blind Man), we find the phrase "when he needs an animal or fool". This is likely a typo. It would make most sense as "animal or tool", and at least some sense as "animal or food". Can someone check the original source, please? In fact, the entire "Development" section needs better citation.--Khajidha (talk) 19:08, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
