Our Pick for the YT Vid of the Wk. for the 3rd Wk. of Sept. 2017- "Barry Sisters-Ich Chob Dich Tzifil Lieb"!

          For the third week of Sept. 2017 we picked an old Yiddish song posted on YT on Feb.10 - 2015 by VintageMusicFm - titled "Barry Sisters - Ich Chob Dich Tsifil Lieb" since Yiddish is similar to German a lot - we can translate that title - loosely to - "I Love You Much too Much". It's an old Yiddish song - romantic, "schmaltzy" but charming - with an excellent vocal by the two sisters Bagelman - Minnie and Claire - who were real beauties when - younger. Thy sing part of it in Yiddish but the second part is in English.
       At the beginning of their careers - they were big in the "Borsht Belt" area of New York Catskills Mountains with a big following of New York Jews. However - they built quite a following and sold a lot of records to listeners who liked performers like Frank Sinatra - which means lyrics worth listening to - good vocals and super good orchestral arrangements.
      Half of this song is done in Yiddish but the second half - they sing in English. It's a corny but romantic musical piece - easy to hum and easy to remember. As much as the talented and beautiful sisters enjoyed a sizable career in the U.S. - their performances in Israel were not met with a decent reception because Hebrew took over big time - with Yiddish spoken only by older people.
      At any rate - have a great third week of Sept. 2017 everybody! This week - Chicago continues with glorious weather and less homicides. Now - presently - the leftist leaning Chicago politicians are getting ready to issue "special cards" to "anybody known to mankind" who comes here - the illegals. Those cards would entitle the holders to free public transportation (as if the public transportation is not already infested with all kinds of hoodlums bothering decent people) - and the city libraries' privileges would also be available for the holders of those "new" identification cards. It's a shame that the leftist politicians don't give the new card holders - free dinners twice per week at the leftist legislators' - homes. 
       Needless to say - those kinds of legislative excesses are costly. Guess who is paying? You guessed right - the squeezed to the max - Chicago taxpayers are footing the bill. The city - already - has enormously high taxes on anything they can tax - if they could tax people's "belches" and other functions - not mentioned in a mixed company - they would. Thank God for the nearby suburbs which don't do it quite as much. 
     Don't forget to click here next Thursday - Sept. 21 - 17 to see which YT Vid will be our choice for the YT Vid of the Week for next week!
