Message: [QUOTE="FanFromMaine, post: 4079972, member: 5017"] Agreed. Evidently Jay Black (born David Blatt) was Yiddish speaker from Brooklyn who got his start in American music because of his tremendous talent. Cara Mia is still moving to me as a song as well as a piece of my youth. Recently Len Barry (born Len Borisoff) of the Dovells died and it turned out that he too was a Yiddish speaker from the city, in his case Philly. His first love though was bball and he started at Overbrook High along with Walt Hazzard and Wali Jones, about 5 years after Wilt left. I was so disappointed to learn that the Bristol Stomp referenced PA, not CT. [/QUOTE]
