The Catskills and the jokesters are but a memory. Tastes change, who's making schmaltz today?

Gotta go to some pretty cloistered place to find schmaltz-makers today. Thanks, Peter

As comedian Red Skelton used to say: 'I just do 'em; I don't explain 'em.' LOL. Glad you like the title! Just don't eat the borscht!! LOL. Thanks, Maureen! :) Gershon
