This superb collection of Jewish sheet music represents a post-immigrant generation experiencing assimilation into mainstream America while yet maintaining a link to their heritage via the language and melody of their music.
Images on covers portray humorous ethnic stereotypes and “campy” song titles. Includes: Under the Matzos Tree. <<*>> Yiddle on Your Fiddle Play Some Rag Time. <<*>> I’m a Yiddish Cowboy. <<*>> Cohen Owes me Ninety Seven Dollars. <<*>> Whose Izzy is He - Is He Yours or Is He Mine?
