I’ve been in love with the same woman for 49 years…

… if my wife finds out, she’ll kill me! “Kosher Comedy”   by Benny Bell   Zion Records (1960)

A Jewish grandmother is watching her grandchild playing on the beach when a huge wave comes and takes him out to sea. She pleads, “please God, save my only grandson. I beg of you, bring him back.” And a big wave comes and washes the boy back onto the beach, good as new. She looks up to heaven and says: “He had a hat!”

The princess and Guiseppe

“Bedtime Stories Italian Style”   by Giuseppe, the Italian Baby-sitter!   Box Office Records   “…a decidedly different delineation of a half-dozen famous fairy tales.   Combining today’s adult world of reality with the time-honored world of fantasy…”     “Taking farcical liberties under the protection of his pizzeria palaver, he puts the accent high on hilarity”     Giuseppe is in reality a prominent orchestra leader born and raised in NYC.   His Italian accent is strictly for this album, recorded at the repeated urging of friends who have joyfully sampled his performances at private parties.

Don’t forget to order ahead

Graham Dalley   Hollick & Taylor Records   (1966)   Recorded live at The Barn, a restaurant in Birmingham, England.   Sappy organ music like ‘ ‘Sayonara’, “Meet Me in St. Louis” and “The Folks on the Hill’     And sappier liner notes like “It was a great night out. The food and the wine and the mood and the music; you’re going to store it all away in some sweet corner of life’s memories to hold against less magical moments when you want to recall the rosy glow of friendliness and warmth which is the essence of our fare. At any rate, that’s how we hope you feel.”   But, give it up for the inspired front cover – which is why we’re here after all.
