"Cottleston Pie" by Tales from Woodhaven

 

Happy pi day!

Here's a cover of "Cottleston Pie," originally a 1926 poem from Winnie the Pooh author A A Milne, first set to music by Teaneck, New Jersey big band vocalist Anne Lloyd in 1961.

I'm crediting Tales from Woodhaven as the artist, though I'm unsure if that's the chosen name of the husband/wife duo who gave WTP some BPM.

I was unable to locate bio information, either.... though, my guess is that the artists hail from Grayson, Georgia.
