Gathering the Last

Thought to have been recorded in September or October of 1949, this piece features the work of Banquo Walker, a poet and editor of the then-emerging Greenwich Village Bohemian scene. Of further interest is an odd historical footnote in the journal of a Lt. Chivalry A. Faraday, who served as aide-de-camp to Gen. Montgomery during the Valley Forge campaign. He mentions a scout's report of spying a curious village while on ranging patrol. "A vilage of no Christian church nor crosse, but of shrines and brazers, withal to yield up prais to unown hethen worshippe."
