Re: Jewish cowboy music

[farfl's house <farfl...>]

I have a record called "Passover Greetings from Harold Stern, Jewish Cowboy"
from the Manischewitz Company. I compiled that and two or three of the
cowboy-based Mickey Katz parodies onto a CD, made a great Jewish Cowboy CD
cover, and it's waiting to be given to a Director friend of ours that wrote a
play about Jewish Cowboys. We want to trade the CD for a copy of the play
poster, which is unbelievably great. So this isn't such an obscure topic,
after all!
Regards,
Steven
