MUSIC FROM THE PAST: THE BARNYARD SONG

Here's a gentle little children's song from folksinger Sam Hinton.  Hinton was an oceanographer, a calligrapher, a folklorist, and a darned fine musician.  His 1961 folkways album Sam Hinton sings Songs of Men is one of my favorites and contains a song I often sing to myself (because no one else can stand my attempts at singing) when I encounter someone who doesn't believe in the concept of evolution, "It's a Long Way from Amphioxus."

How many of these animal noises can you make?
