[78-L] from Allan Sherman's "A Gift of Laughter"

[Cary Ginell]

Do you have any? There were only two sides that I know of, which were featured on the 12" Jubilee compilation LP "More Folk Songs" - issued in 1964 to capitalize on his "Hello Muddah" fame. There were only two Sherman songs on it "Jake's Song" and "A Satchel & a Seck." Were there more? The only other thing of interest on that record was Fyvush Finkel's shameless appropriation of Victor Borge with "Yiddish Punctuation."
