Sidekick Heaven by Riders In the Sky (Silver Jubilee)

This provides an explanation for the funny sound that the bass player makes throughout many of the pieces. "Bu-u-u-u-sha!"
Golden Slippers by Foghorn Stringband (Weiser Sunrise)
https://itunes.apple.com/album/weiser-sunrise/id78090081?i=78090079
I first heard this song in the Ricky Schroder/Alec Guinness version of "Little Lord Fauntleroy". I was shocked to hear this playing on Pandora!

This one used to be one of my favorites on Disney's Yankee Doodle Mickey album.
While I'm at it, here are some other LPs from my childhood days that I really enjoyed:

It seems these songs are almost impossible to find for MP3 purchase. Some of the prices for LPs seem more reasonable than others. If I do buy some of these, I'll make a trip over to my dad's to borrow his LP player!
The Ballad of Davy Crockett by Asleep At the Wheel (Remembers the Alamo)
https://itunes.apple.com/album/remembers-the-alamo/id155666425?i=155666602
A local play brings special attention to this song. It was also used as a childhood taunt because of my unique first name.
