When I first became enchanted with “The Ash Grove” from Harpo Marx‘s Harpo in Hi-Fi album, I initially suspected Harpo to have written the piece:
“The Ash Grove“
Harpo Marx (1957)
But alas, “The Ash Grove” is a traditional Welsh folk song. Harpo’s version from 1957, coincidentally or not, predates the opening of The Ash Grove folk music club by Ed Pearl on Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles by one year.
