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 on Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles by one year.
