Soft cover. Good. 12 pages including front and back, stapled in pamphlet form. Evidently a concert program: "Lyrics by Eugene Walter, Music by Donald Ashwander, Fred Baldwin, Alexis Biolley & Francis Imbragulio". Performer listed after each poem (song): Phyllis Demetropoulos - soprano, Greg Riley - tenor, Teri Ann Willams - soprano, Linda Evans - alto. Most of the authors and performers are from the Gulf Coast, which suggests that the undated concert program may have been for an event in Eugene Walter's home town, Mobile, Alabama. A few smudges to the covers, staples rusted. From the library of Walter's friend Ann Evans Berthoff.
