Re: Jewish cowboy music

[lownthl <lownthl...>]

You've jarred something loose from my very young childhood.  My parents used
to play a record featuring a meshugena singing "Duvid Crockett".   An Excite
search engine helped me find a discography on Mickey Katz at
http://www.bayscenes.com/ind/spidra/katzdisco.html
I remember listening to two other Western-style tracks listed there:
She'll Be Coming 'Round the Katzkills
Haim afen Range

Who sang "Lefkowitz the Cop"?  It wasn't included in the Mickey Katz
discography.

Regards,

Steven Lowenthal
