Vince Giordano digs my grandfather

Near the end of this article in the New York Times
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/28/nyregion/28metjournal.html
it's stated that Mr. Giordano played a 78 rpm Yiddish version of "Yes We Have No Bananas" for the writer.
My grandfather (Gus Goldstein) was an actor in the Yiddish theater and also recorded many 78's of Yiddish comedy routines and popular songs of the time (1910's and '20s) also in Yiddish. I have a disc of him performing "Bananas", so I wrote to Mr. Giordano and asked if, by any chance, that was a recording by my grandfather.
Mr. Giordano replied that it indeed was by my grandfather (a different version than the one I already had) and sent me MP3's of that and another recording by him.
Ain't that swell?

Vince Giordano is THE MAN for this stuff. His is the best 20's band on the planet. That's really cool stuff! I'd love to hear those MP3's!

PM me your e-mail address and I'll try to get a couple off to you.
Do you understand Yiddish? Other than the couple of pop tunes I have, the others are comedy bits in another language.
I don't get the jokes.[huh]
