"Litvak and Galician" and "Desire/zeal" from "The girl from the west."
Libretto: Anshel Schorr
Sung by Mrs. Dora Weisman -- Note on cover
The first song pokes fun at the antagonism between two different sects of Eastern European Jews. The song concludes "But here in America, we are all simply Jewish, so let's be friends."
"Zeal, overwhelming desire, makes young men gray. It can lead one to the electric chair. It got a famous man name White shot dead by ajealous husband. Don't let it overcome you. Have control with desire or lust tries to overwhelm you."
