Wow! I haven't heard this one in years and it brought tears to my eyes.I have memories of my childhood in Bronx with my family, listening to this on our old record player.(Wonder where that record is now) We spent our summers in Rockaway,but also took a vacation from our bungalow and went up to The Echo Hotel in the Catskills--and BOY--the words to this hilarious song were true for the adults!

Wow! I love your dad's songs. I grew up with ESSEN on a 78, inherited from my dad's massive 78 collection. I searched the web like a fiend several years ago, hoping there was a digital copy of ESSEN floating around to share with friends. Came up empty at the time. Didn't realize it was on YouTube 'til now. Pity that the above version is missing the gag on the end of side one on the 78: "Please -- turn me over on the other side" to hear the song in its entirety. ~ Patti from NYC, now in Chicago

@PattiSacks This song was from my Grandma's record Titled Allan Sherman and friends. Probably not as old at the 78 you are talking about, Thanks for the great comment. Glad you like it. if you want the digital version I will be happy to send it.

The late night nosh lists both meat and dairy items--that is NOT KOSHER.

I heard this song on Doctor Demento a few times back in the 1980's!

I grew up in Monsey from 1963 and only last year moved to Orange County. My summers were spent in Harris where my Grandmother had a small bungalow colony. Such fond memories. I still drive through the "country'...it is slowly vanishing as it was when i was a boy.

[asbpab1966]

@mrbb33 Yes, my father used to go there and to the Concord in the fifties and sixties.

@Woodmanvegas Spring Valley, where I lived 1954-2001 before moving to nearby Monsey, has changed. When I first came here, it was a Summer vacation place for NYC Jews. Now it is a drug and crime infested slum. 4 major hotels are no more. The White House no longer exists. Singer's is now a Hasidic Yeshiva. Bader's is now an assisted living facility in a neighborhood that is now all Black. Rubenfeld's is now an adult home.

[asbpab1966]

@Woodmanvegas I have lived the last 56 years in the Spring Valley/Monsey area. When I first came here, this area was a Summer resort for Jews living in NYC. There were nice hotels: Bader's, Singer's, Rubenfeld's, and the White House. The opening of the Tappan Zee Bridge in late 1955 was the beginning of the end. Rockland County became a bedroom suburb. Spring Valley deteriorated to becoming a drug and crime infested slum.

@SesameSquirrel First, a Kosher hotel would not use a non-Kosher concession. They would have to warn those clients who observe the dietary laws that the utensils were probably non-Kosher. Second, in order not to destroy the Kashrus of the room, they would have to place unused tablecloths on all serving and eating tables and take them away after the nosh.

[SesameSquirrel]

@asbpab1966 That's because the "concession" was independent, not part of the hotel, using separate prep facilities and cutlery, etc. As such, they were not bound by the dietary laws.
