My mother used to play the album with the nuns in our home. Does it have the song Joy is Like the rain??? I cannot believe more than 1 – 2 albums existed.

Yup! Joy is Like the Rain is one of the songs. Interestingly, one of the nuns who made that album is now a professor of feminist studies. Still on the cutting edge, 40 years later!

Those same albums can be found in 2 places that I know….my parents garage, and the closet of the 60′s house that we just bought! What a co-inkydink! Love that you just can’t get away from history! Or not…..

This episode reminds me of the record albums in my house and at various relatives’ houses back when I was a kid. Nat King Cole Christmas; Andy Griffith comedy–What it was was football; The Sound of Music at Aunt Johnnie’s.
And ABBA, please tell me that there are still ABBA albums out there! I’ve got The Hitchhiker’s Guide on some LPs; alas, no turntable. My husband has a couple of Herb Alperts (think that’s the right name–the Tijihuana Brass guy).

Hi Sage.. really got a kick off this episode. If I were drinking milk.. it would have spewed out my nose!
I am sure my mum has some of those albums..although I do remember she had some Sinatra (they were like 52′s? not the standard 33 rpm)
I wonder what some future podcast like person will showcase on their show in the year 2058.. “Oh my gods.. you won’t believe what I found on this old thing called a Computer (since everyone will be directly hooked up with these implanted chips in their brains at birth and get hourly downloads from the mainframe whatever)… anyway.. they used to listen to these things called Podcasts.. and you Won’t believe what they listened to.. check this out…..:>P
Thanks for the laughs…
Peace

I can see I’m not alone in having had a blast from my past with this episode. I swear, my parents have all these (with the exception of the Swedish one), and played them often when I was a kid.
And the nuns take me right back to my days in the catholic choir, during the folk phase that was briefly all the rage and then subsequently quashed. I regretted the loss of freedom and openness it represented, but not the hokey lyrics.
