Jumbo Record

Enjoy this upbeat Jumbo 45 RPM record composed and performed by Doreen Baldwin accompanied by Rudy Davis. The back of the record transcribes 

“ St. Thomas Ontario, pays tribute to Jumbo, the most beloved animal that ever lived -- the elephant that captured the heart and admiration of all who saw him, with his genteel nature and mammoth size. 

On September 15, 1885, he died accidentally on a railway at St. Thomas. Jumbo was 24 years of age.

His name became part of our language. He lives today in our memory.”
