[78-L] Yiddish Home on the Range

[David Lennick]

Get his autobiography.."That's Not All, Folks". Great stuff.

But the source of the KMIT story eludes me..I think it's in Jack Benny's 
daughter's book.

One of my favorite Mel Blanc recordings is "Clink Clink, Another Drink" with 
Spike Jones..either version (Bluebird/Victor or Standard Transcription).
