HILARIOUS stuff!!<br />On this after-Thanksgiving of 2010 otherwise known as black friday to the lesser minded among us that might actually want to fiord that river of desperate idiots that truly believe there is a special treat waiting for them that no one else will see on Saturday, my salute and salutations.<br /><br />I read about the other-than-normal relative, cracked up and would like to join your clan.<br /><br />To save you software time I will tell you I live in Houston Texas and am a woman of a certain age that enjoys all things horse and journalistic.<br /><br />Please write back and let me know if this came through. I feel we have much to learn from each other.And not a few good laughs to share.TexasCChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13013225423237952430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30567497.post-86333121814735846242009-12-08T06:55:49.412-05:002009-12-08T06:55:49.412-05:00I meant www.romanmidnightmusic.ORG !Cherylhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10878041423952564822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30567497.post-13112149177041495592009-12-08T06:54:32.822-05:002009-12-08T06:54:32.822-05:00Thank you, Aaron, for not only the good news of Irving Fields&#39; latest efforts (at 94!), but also for shedding light on how he came up with his professional name. I appreciate it, and will definitely be checking out your label, www.romanmidnightmusic.com!Cherylhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10878041423952564822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30567497.post-73641835072049006132009-12-07T22:09:32.733-05:002009-12-07T22:09:32.733-05:00Cheryl<br /><br />I just came across your Nov 2008 blog on Irving Field&#39;s Bagels &amp; Bongos. I thought you would be interested in his latest efforts.<br /><br />His 1960 classic “More Bagels &amp; Bongos” has finally been reissued on CD, via my Manhattan-based indie label Roman Midnight Music www.romanmidnightmusic.org . The album is available both as downloads and on CD. <br /><br />Further, 94-year old Irving acted as creative director on the reissue, even suggesting a new look/cover to this forgotten classic which I designed to his specifications.<br /><br />Also available online (as a .99 cent mp3 download) is a special home recording of Irving’s famed Youtube.com Theme Song, currently not available anywhere else. <br /><br />This is the first of many projects between Irving and RMM, including the 2010 reissue of “Bikini &amp; Bongos” (Hawaiian &amp; Latin) and the solo effort “Jewish Comedy Songs”.<br /><br />Further, to add in your blog...you talk about how you &quot;surmise&quot; that Fields was anglicized from Feld but discovered otherwise. Yes, he was indeed Isadore Swartz at one time, but, according to what he&#39;s told me, it got changed accidentally as a boy when his sister (who was a singer) called him Isadore Fields once to pose as her husband not brother to warn off men. I can&#39;t remember how Irving came about. <br /><br />Please, check it out.<br /><br />~ Aaron Joy<br />Owner, Roman Midnight MusicAaronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05625726101651013905noreply@blogger.com
