Substack wouldn't let me attach a screenshot, so here's the quote. Thanks again for this.
"The Langley Schools Music Project featured a cover sung by student Sheila Behman. Recorded by music teacher Hans Fenger at rural Canadian elementary schools in 1976–77, the collection of pop covers by children was released in 2001 under the title Innocence & Despair to critical acclaim.[28] "Desperado" would go on to feature in the fourth season of the HBO series Barry.[29]."
File under "It's a small world": my son sang in the Langley Children's Choir from 2010 to 2013. Different teacher, but the same community. Sadly, they never recorded an album.
I just added it to Desperado's Wikipedia page. Hopefully it stays :) Cheers

That's terrific!

Oh I am so glad to get read this comment! Thanks for posting.
Well, and now I've gone and ordered a copy of the cd. Because that's the way you write, Erin.
