Double ouch! And I deserved it. I think that Pat has forgiven me
though. Hope you can as well.

Ouch! Little Jimmy, despite my recent actions and subsequent apology, I
don't think I quite deserved that last one. We have had a long and
mostly pleasant association. And my remark was rather light-hearted,
non? What is more, I did not participate in the "obloquy" other than to
say that I continue to enjoy ES's recordings, but prefer
Rothenberger's. Your uncle Charles B. had a great affection for
Anneliese as well, as I recall.

Kidding aside, the last remark was hurtful.

Regards, still,

Paul


On the positive side I didn't ask you not to call me a moron.

Sorry, Little Jimmy, but I just do not see the comparison. (and I play
my E.S. disks far more often than my one Jolson disk) Now if you could
show me a tape of E.S. wearing a sheitl and singing "Yiddishe Mama" or
provide evidence of any association of Jolson with the KKK,...

Well, it was Charlie's homework, not yours. To ask for "compare and
contrast" is not to assert similarities or differences. Frankly I was
struck
that not a single criticism was directed toward Jolson's career of
pissing
on Blacks for his own greater glory, coming, as the thread did, sharply
on
the heels of the Elisabeth Schwartzkopf tsunami of obloquy. And please do
not take this occasion to charge me with anti-semitism.

Thank you,
ljo

Blackface..and other stereotopyes were part,sadly, of film and
stage.
I once showed a class a special documentary on the treatment of
blacks
in film..(the "Stepandfechit' theory.).
No,I think Jolson..and others...(Eddie cantor,etc.) just fit in as
part
of the way it was...lousy as it was. Charlie


I see. Compare and contrast that with E.S.
