I would like to ask you if you mind, in the song "Kinder Yoren Medley" by Elisheva Edelson from "From My Heritage," I don't speak Yiddish, but I love Yiddish songs. Can you help me identify which songs are in this medley?
@SamuelPeckman4 күн бұрын
Hello there, thank you for your message. I do not know the Kinder Yoren Medley. In fact, my Yiddish knowledge is very limited. I have a wonderful book Pearls of Yiddish Song which gives me all the English translations of the Yiddish songs. I wish you well in your search to identify the songs in this medley. Best wishes Maurice.

Hm, there is a biography written about Elizabeth Barrett-Browning by Margaret Forster and she tells another story. Of her loving her father a lot and the father having some problems of his own, being domineering, yes, but especially in Elizabeth's case, the seclusion that came in her 30s was self-imposed. She had huge fears of meeting new people, could not see why anyone would want to visit anyone else, WANTED to stay in her room, not even stir from her sofa most of the time all day and read books, letters and write poetry, letters and other texts. It was HER choice! True, her father did not want her or any or her children to marry, but until she fell in love with RB, she did not WANT to marry and generally was wary of the concept. She looked down on her sister Henrietta for wanting to visit other people, going to parties and picnics. She herself from time to time imposed the idea of being too frail to receive visitors on her father - to be free of that burden. It only became a problem, once, usually after exchanging letters for months, she wanted to see someone and her father believed that would overwhelm her. It was suggested by Margaret Forster, that both Elizabeth and her father suffered form some "extreme form of shyness", more like some form of anxiety disorder. Before her marriage, she loved her father and felt very close to him. I do not know about the daily drink. However, it was also suggested that she suffered form some form of anorexia, often refusing to eat or eating far too little.So, probably the father was worried and grateful for every calorie she would get. BTW A very interesting reading, apart from the biography, is a diary she kept from around the age of 26. It mainly tells the story of her visiting an elderly blind scholar and reading Greek to him. She could have visited other people, but hated that, it bored her, so she went to visit this man, William Boyd, once a week. It also tells of her extensive reading, of missing her father who was looking for a new house, and of agonizing over every word Boyd said or read to her. In that Diary, no fear of her father comes through. There is also an interesting statement, that she dreamt she was married, "just married and in an agony to procure" a divorce. So, at that age, marriage held no attraction to her and her father did not keep her from it. There is another interesting phrase where she vows, after the move, to "see nobody and like nobody" and live "with (her) books, and writings, and dear family". Those were HER words, HER choices, none imposed by her father.

Once again you bring the memories back Maurice! Was fascinated by this song as a child & even more so when I learned & saw for myself that the early movies didn't talk. The song featured in the 1929 talkie 'Sunnyside Up' which I'm lucky to have on video. Love your multi coloured bears on 'Teddy Bear's Picnic' Not only was it a hit for Henry Hall, but, because of the backing's wide tonal range, it was used for sound tests by BBC technicians. Those who twiddled the dials after the BBC had closed down, would be surprised to hear it bursting over the airwaves.

@@SamuelPeckman My pleasure. There's a Wkipedia article on the song, which started out as an instrumental in 1907. I posted the 1907 version in which they created bear effects, perhaps by growling into a tuba. I also posted the iconic 1932 Henry Hall version, with vocals by Val Rosing.

Surprised to learn this song dates to 1954. That said, music hall was not dead, even in the 1950's. Brings back great memories from 1956, when we moved into a dirty & badly neglected house. No means of heating water on that day, but the elderly couple next door gave us an unlimited supply, reassuring us that all would come right in the end. That happy home was in our family for nearly 50 years!

Hello Paul, thank you for your most interesting comments. There was a series on television starting in 1954 called "Friends and Neighbours". This Was the Theme Song of the Series. Benny Lee was a well-known actor and singer of the time and I remember that he sang the song as well as appearing in the series. With regard to the "made for children" policy of KZbin, it is actually KZbin itself who ultimately decides whether a video is made for children or not. So if any of my videos are designated as made for children I hope that you will see them and you can always comment on them as you did this time. That would be much appreciated by me.

A cosy & homely sounding song, which I recall being sung into the 1960's & beyond. What's great about some of these early American songs (in this case 1917) their modernity for the times set them up as evergreens for the future. A fine & nostalgic one for a singalong round a pub piano.

Thanks for the memory Maurice. Recall hearing this on the radio in the 1950's. How things have changed. Obituaries now are a 'celebration of the life of..........' & frequently request informal dress or even bright colours. Strange how funerial humour was popular back then. Well remember: My Word You Do Look Queer & Ain't It Grand To Be Bloomin' Well Dead. I was lucky to meet Leslie Sarony, who wrote & performed that song, when he appeared in pantomime at Hull's New Theatre back in 1967.

Good to hear the original American vaudeville lyrics. When the song 'crossed the pond' there were variations to the lyrics, some a bit risque. I posted the Randolph Sutton version which concludes: She likes indoor sports, I never cared for indoor sports but she likes indoor sports & that's my weakness now!" He sings those final words with a cheeky chuckle. Btw, my 'weakness' does have eyes of blue & dimpled cheeks, so it gave a warm feeling when you sang those words at the start. Thanks for the romance you've added to my day!
