RE: Fw: Yiddish Songs

There is a lot of material - in Yiddish.

There are several books in English on Yiddish theater and they must discuss the 
songs.

Hankus,

I was going to mention "Tenement Songs" (which I do own, along with
the tape), but it seemed to me that there must be some book out there
devoted entirely to Yiddish theater music.  Certainly there is plenty
of material.  And there are many recordings, including one by Jan
Peerce.

Maybe someone on the list will fill the gap.
