Well, I suppose I should say is, "Oy, Vay!"
Bob Newman submitted a list of famous, great Jewish musicians,
composers, and singers. However, I think I am correct in saying that
Harry Warren was an Italian non-Jew, and that Steve Allen was as Irish
as Patty's Pig. (A phrase taught to me by a very bona fide Irishman.)
I also very much appreciated Don Mopsick's fine capsule summary on the
subject.
