There is still some question, probably now
unresolvable, as to if this is really Washington or a younger

The record was reissued from the master a number of
times over the years. I've had one pass through my hands in

I once made a cassette master of it that was
distributed by a small black foundation headed by a DC bus driver who
distributed to many elementary and high schools. Gotta be 15 or so years
ago.
