This is yet another album I rescued from the HPB bargain bin - and it was the title that caught my eye. I will buy just about any album that has the word "bongos" in the title - I love bongos! And this was just such an odd title that I couldn't resist. I love the music, too! According to the liner notes, there was a prior album titled "Bagels and Bongos" (anyone have it to share?) and these are Yiddish songs to a Latin beat. What a great idea! I read on the Internet that Irving Fields also recorded "Bikinis and Bongos" and "Pizzas and Bongos" - if anyone has these, please do share!

This is a great album from 1960. And, now available - for the first time - on CD. My record label Roman Midnight Music www.romanmidnightmusic.org has worked with 94 year old Irving to remaster & give a new look to this old chestnut. And, it's the beginning of many reissues. Next up - Bikini & Bongos.
Hi, jewelyard!
