Note
  • Two versions of a song, My little kid Yiddle, by Doug Wieselman, with lyrics by Sheldon Harnick, for Jerome Robbins's autobiographical theater work Poppa piece. The song comes from a scene in which the protagonist's father introduces him to his friends at a steam bath. Each version lasts ca. 2 min. This is one of a group of tapes made between 1990 and 1992 on which Wieselman recorded musical ideas for Poppa piece.
  • Sound quality is good for the first 2 min., but the remaining 2 min. have severe distortion and are at slow speed.
  • Title from original container label.
