Wonderful seeing the Hall Johnson chior

Wow! I'm so glad I ran across this. The only recording of "The Devil Is Afraid of Music" that I've heard is Barbara Lea's. And I'd never seen a film of Willard Robison. What a treasure this is. I see that the sheet music for the song is in the Bagaduce Library which I subscribe to. I'll have to check it out. Thank you, Mr. Mintun, for posting this gem!
