Had a similar mind transport this morning. For whatever reason, a co-
worker & I were discussing the since-discontinued marketing of colored
live baby chicks at Easter. He remarked that a woman in our
accounting dept, Shelly, was Jewish, but her mother had bought her one
once. The original subject matter evaporated in my head, and I found
myself thinking Jewish...Shelly; and Shelly Berman popped into my
head, followed by a host of all of the great Jewish comics of my
youth, Berman, Shecky Greene, Milton Berle, Jackie Vernon, Marty
Allen, etc.

I suppose my youth was more comedy than musically oriented; and I
fondly remembered laughing at these guys on Sullivan and the other
variety shows of that time. Sitting in the family living room,
laughing in front of the old black and white. Great stuff.
