The 50's? On summer Saturdays, with the apartment windows wide open,
my father would crank up the Fisher console to blast a disk-full of
Russian folk songs across the neighborhood and then see if he could
drown it out with his sing-along. He had a good time but his kids
payed for it, it wasn't a good era to flaunt a Russian origin. But I
wish I could hear him do it one more time.
