There's a Strasburg Railroad song?

It's true! Recorded by the Metropolitans in 1966 it's a cutie, and here it is:

BTW it's Karla DeVito in the video, but she's not on the record (and it's not her voice on the video). The actual female vocal was done by Ellen Foley, who later played the defense attorney in the early years of NBC's "Night Court".

And I hadn't noticed it was Karla in the video.  Ellen was feisty!

It's nice to see somebody else that appreciates Janis Ian.
