This week’s recommendation is a bit of an odd ball. It is the rendition of Oh! Susanna, a minstrel song, by the band, The Byrds.

We learnt this song as a part of of some events around the festive Christmas season in my junior school, Holy Cross School, in a small town named Agartala, in the north-eastern part of India.

I was involved in water-cooler discussion about banjos with a few colleagues recently and for the rest of the day, this song was stuck in my head, bringing back some warm pleasant memories of my time there.
