[78-L] Sam Levenson was Yiddish Home on the range

[David Lennick]

Er..the album WAS titled "But Seriously, Folks"....not "Uncle Sam Lays 'Em In 
The Aisles" (in which case it might have been put in the same bin with Rusty 
Warren and B. S. Pulley)..

Bet it wasn't a zillionth as disappointing as that Lenny Bruce album on Warner 
Brothers!
