Taking this secular holiday (or is it the circumcision of Jesus?) as
an opportunity to ask if anyone can give a lead (78rpm, LP, or CD
label and #, or performer) for the following American popular (or not
so popular) songs:
Andrews Sisters: "Nayer Sher, Der" (w/ Guy Lombardo)
Charles, Ray: "Tell Me Where Can I Go" (Vi Ahin Zol Ikh Geyn)
(Wolf Krakowski swears (well only after a couple) that it exists)
Cruz, Celia: Canciones Que Siempre Quise Grabar (w/ Rene
Hernandez Orquesta) ("Hava Nagila") (LP)
Dorsey, Jimmy: "My Little Cousin" ("Di Grine Kuzine")
Jolson, Al: That Wonderful Girl of Mine (Jacobs, Gallop, Olshanetzky)
