RE: "Exotic" Jewish Music

[Leonard Koenick <lkoenick...>]

I still am not sure what classifies as "exotic" but if amusing and 
strangeness fit, try these:
1. Litvak Polka and Oom-Glick Blues, Eli Basse with Bobby Kroll and 
Orchestra
2. Zets a Matzoh ("Zets Biff Bang") Peisechke Burstein
3. Getzel at a Football Game, Michael Rosenberg. Acc: Abe Ellstein
4. Baby Sitter, Mensaha Skulnik
5. Scotchman from Orchard Street, Menasha Skulnik
6. Cordova the Bronx Casanova, Menasha Skulnik
7. Mister Segal ("make it legal for me"), Sophie Tucker NB: Maybe funny 
then but not now.
8. Horse Playing Pappa, Sophie Tucker

They are some of the many 78's left me by my father.  I recently bought a 
fairly high quality turntable that can play them and bought a new 78 
cartridge.  What a difference.

This stuff  could be said to be "exotic" --  if amusing -- insofar as
general "strangeness" goes:

"My Bubba and Zaedas Cha Cha Cha"  (Sy Menchin and His Steven Scott Orch:
Apollo Records)

"Bagels and Bongos"  (Irving Fields Trio: Decca Records)

"Mazel Tov, Mis Amigos"  (Juan Calle and His Latin Lantzmen: Riverside
Records) 1961

All on vinyl.
