That's not as funny as you might think. You should have been here when I had
to suppl;y Ray charles with My Yiddishe Mame about a year ago.

I once tried to talk a film company OUT of purchasing a particular recording
and suggested another one that was actually $3.00 less. They assumed that
since I was tring to recommend a cheaper recording that I must be stuck with
that one , so they took the more expensive one. I told them that was no what
they needed, but since that was their choice, they would be stuck with it if
they did not like it. I actually argued with them about it.

Needless to say, they called me the next day and wanted to exchange the
recording, I told them "Tough Kneidlech" , they made the choice and they were
stuck.  They now wanted to take whatever I suggested. I told them that they
would now have to pay a consulation fee. They agreed-and I gave them recording
that I first suggested.  I saw the film, not very good, but the music....such
a pleasure!

By the way, I think that the film company from The Governess had purchased
about 8 or 9 Ladino Cd's from me.
