Description

[Note from tape log on outside of tape box for the original, spliced tape, not included on the tape log of the dupe:] My childhood in Montreal, Canada, is closely bound with my Yiddish education in a secular Jewish school. Many of these rhymes stem from that environment, as well as the one at home, where my Bessarabian-born mother, shared her own childhood memories of games and rhymes and taunts and teasers, with me. Blessed with a retentive memory... I later picked up many more from my informants.

[Note from Ruth Rubin’s typed catalog (R6620, black hard-bound notebook):] Activity song. In 1957 I came across an old notebook with children’s rhymes and games, which I had collected before I had a tape recorder. These were taped a good deal from memory and the notebook. 41897 two different editions of the tape, Our (YIVO) tape has 39 tracks and the Library of Congress edition has 46 songs. These records are for YIVO edition of the tape. The LOC tape was the one digitized.
