Doris Slater Martin - I Got The Chicken Pox For Christmas

 

First released in 1957, the record was also available as a 78rpm disc, I have it on a 45, the record is part of an activity pack, with actions for children to do during the song, a lot of the records have become separated from the activity packs, when I first posted this record it was still available to buy.

The only recording I could find is taken from a 78.

Mike Mercado - Brussel Sprouts

 

Sorry this record or any of Mike Mercado's records are posted on YouTube.

Each time I posted a Mike Mercado record I got a number of comments from former pupils of the schools he had taught in as Brother Solomon later as Mike Mercado, saying his subjects were Discipline and Music in that order, he left the order in 1966 and became Mike Mercado, there were hints of other things being carried out.

It seems the hints that something untoward was happening were true,
