Country Yossi Visit to NSN Studios 12/5/23

for kanuka 5784 it all begins believe it or not on Thursday night the first candle is Thursday night could you imagine hanuka is almost here and during this week and month of Miracles we are pleading with the one above for a miracle that our hostages be released ASAP especially as the enemy has supposedly according to the United States authorities has declared there'll be no more hostage release right now we know who could change that in an instant and let's continue to pray for our brother s and sisters in Israel JM and the am on a Tuesday Morning broadcast we actually have video going in our studio here in New York City this morning because it must have been I don't know how many days ago I guess I could check my texts or emails I don't know how how many days or weeks ago it was but I noticed that um country usy and heshy walfish were about to release and make available to the public their entire catalog that's what I saw I saw this somewhere the entire catalog was being offered uh to the uh to the global public of all the incredible country usy selections and anybody who was part of the country usy network over all these years you know Ki Tui and all those guys so when I saw this I I contacted country USI and said we've got to do some type of interview this is this is historic this is notor worthy this is too important to just pass by and I suggested that before kanuka since the entire catalog would be a great kanuka gift I suggested that before kanuka we get together in studio here at JM and the am and here we are we're still awaiting the arrival of heshy walfish but we do have the legendary country yussi here in our New York City Studio good morning country Yi good morning nak how are you w how am I I'm sitting in front of a legend great you're looking great thank you how could I be I'm sitting in front of a legend my dream has come true you accepted you've accepted my invitation to speak about this noteworthy occasion in the history of Jewish music it's our honor to be here thank you for inviting us and uh yes the entire catalog is now on sale the entire K and Tui catalog and the country Yi catalog on two separate USBS because you know I noticed in the news that Bob Dyan sold his C for I think $350 million Paul Simon sold his entire catalog how much so I was about $420 million so I was hoping somebody would make an offer we have any takers out there anybody the is looking like he's considering so but nobody made an offer so we just uh we didn't actually uh release it it escaped basically like everybody else around so how many selections are there in the entire country USI catalog Network well there are 72 songs on the country USI USB right and uh there must be about U 60 or 70 on the K Andi did you include on did you incl include on either of them the these I remember selections this these I remember you did classic calls with name the five burrows of New York also is on there b Park flat crown for those who don't know you you came across some some pretty well- read people over the years and we immortalize them on on CD and now on USB how do you like that I'm I'm perusing I the truth is I wasn't perusing I was um I was sitting on Saturday night M job as I'm sitting on my couch and someone texts me yeah and they say did you see this week's Jewish views oh I was wondering if I should bring that and I and I said to myself and it was funny because there were a couple of articles that I that I did in fact read in the Jewish views over newspaper it is a great newspaper and arri H was here we did our big Studio opening and he's amazing and and um we're we're I'm sitting there and and here's the funniest thing here's that you'll appreciate it you have a great sense of humor literally moments after havdalah I toss out all the newspapers like that's it the week the week full of news news papers is gone and for some reason I say to myself you know what I'm not tossing about so quickly someone in fact text me like a half hour later did you see page 22 of of the Jewish views and I look and it's an article written by country USI They Call You country USI Tie by the way you're the new and improved country us not to be confused with any other country usy out there exactly and and you write about an encounter that you had in burrow Park Brooklyn and how unusual you felt it was that someone would recognize you because you're you're painting a picture as if you're St a normal regular looking guy right that's basically what you're saying you know radio personalties Who would know on the air classic C Who would know what you look like right exactly and then you write now n seagull is another story altogether he's handsome distinguished looking and 6' S I can't thank country enough for adding a couple of inches to my height I thought I was tall it up at 6'5 frankly uh and no matter where you put sticks out well I will tell you I've never walked into a room and somebody said oh I didn't notice he's like a skyscraper but I will tell you something country and look at this I I alluded to this earlier uh on the air uh the way you present yourself uh with your unique dress I mean you are in a you are in a western vest that is to be envied by anybody who considers themselves a fashion PL and this is not cheap either I I would imagine at this point in your career you're really spending on this Stu St right I mean you're going all out they had to kill two bulls to get this it's a black leather spectacular vest well at least we didn't kill a paruma you oh the pro the proofs in the pudding it is a black vest after all and then in the old days you had a certain look uh on top of your key if you will you had a certain uh uh uh you know cowboy hat um uh Ensemble that you would choose from yes I don't remember this one the one you have today I don't remember this one in your repertoire at any point is this in fact a new cowboy hat this is a new Cowboy had the old one wore out it's been it's 40 years old so we decided to get a new one specifically for this occasion are you happy with this one it's a very large brim those who will see the video later they'll see a very large brim not your I don't know if it's if it's considered a traditional cowboy hat would it be would it yeah this is a 10 gon hat it is and uh it fits right into my BAC surroundings sh nobody looks twice at me you know well the truth is now forget about being n seagull you walk down the street and that no one will doubt who you are they'll know exactly who you are exactly and is this really unique to us or on a typical Tuesday if you're on 13th Avenue if you're riding with your horse down 13th Avenue would you be wearing a hat like that i' be when I'm on the horse I wear the hat I wear the boots I wear the whole Chang but unfortunately I'm just walking nowhere unfortunately my horse Sim it's called Sinister horse he was Ned what happened he passed away he was hit by a garbage truck as I was driving down 13th Avenue holy cow and uh we had to uh that must have been quite an episode very who who was helpful was it sh oh is H who came to the rescue he knew what to do a horse gets hit H's on the spot he she has experience with dead horses very good very good he leftt it off the street and we sold it to go they made good use of it forun we were wondering how you were able to release the USB that's how we got the vest what a story I'm tell you just just I'm glad I brought up the vest only you could have got this story my gosh what a tale to say the least he's he's in our studio He's Country us he's soon to be joined by hesy wolfish were you were you joined together from the very beginning cuz now we're waiting for heshi but at the very beginning when this whole country usy concept started were you already a a Duo a pair a team it was a uh he's an old friend of mine I knew him before you know both of us were married we were single uh we used to share comic books and uh he was the before you had the ranch before anything before the cattle before all that stuff before you were a side Buster all that stuff yeah we did the you know we had the there and Al Ali and should never broken up well Ripa said you knowmy sit and learn seriously yeah and when you say RL you mean in the studio is so so so be careful there from sh yosu he said that to I was one of the original 10 guys that opened up sh yosu which is you're not joking by the way you're serious yeah you never knew my past yeah I was in was at one day came out with me said I'm opening up my own Yesa farak yeah he was Far those years was in far for a couple of years really yeah after they moved out of stone Avenue there was a period where they one second late 60s they merged with crown height yiva right Crown Heights closes yeah that was oh wasn't really a merger it's more like they just took the students from there no I don't know think about no this we were on Stone Avenue which is where Stone in East New York yeah and uh the neighborhood started turning got very bad so be careful because now we're joined by someone who can authenticate everything you're saying so be careful good morning hashy walfish good morning so one second so you're East New York so it was ini then they moved to far for a couple years until they decided oh and then they go to is I don't know my history the way you do history you know as me to join Yesa with like 10 or 12 guys that's how the Arad started because that's where you met Shoki yeah Shoki was my roommate seriously yes when did you know that he he had this ability to write song he always had a guitar and he always he wrote songs did you write songs back then uh he had a couple of songs like the Ali yiden and the world Ali is your song yeah sure I grew up on that song good morning sorry about that H go ahead good morning you didn't know that he I of course I knew it but I forgot it you know how old I am Hy come on I forget things I did last night come on speaking of old age uh oh wait a second finish the story who else is in that Herra youmy who else is also there very so we had those three guys we sang we on the record and shokei sang too then we got a call to do a concert in the Pioneer Hotel so we asked SCH I mean I'm not going to go perform ask to Riva right so he said yes you can perform but the I think should not perform he should stay in in other words it's posish for him you got you got the cat skills do whatever you want he said you're you're Russ Russ she material and he listened he never performed with us he doesn't perform and and we keep referring to him as SCH Brazil Brazil and he was offing a lot of money to appear at the house concerts and he wouldn't do it never did never did holy C well I I do have to take exception with you there was a time when schy sang with you oh let's hear was that it was at the anniversary remember that anniversary dinner the shos anniversary dinner in the restaurant oh yeah privately or sh dinner yeah he wasn't again singing he just wouldn't go on stage and do a whole production right so uh and then shash you know started taking in more and more B we moved out of the uh Aura building on BS and CT remember that edge across from the white in Far yeah then eventually we got I was out of there already at that point but now it's a beautiful gigantic yiva with hundreds of buam and thousands of see you're not wearing headphones so you can't hear what's on in the background right now oh yeah give it a second country I literally grew up on this this I didn't I wasn't a big Jewish music guy really but this song I [Music] hear both Words and Music are yours yes you're a legend I wasn't kidding earlier when I said I'm joined by a legend I'm a legend in my own mind about to say me beat me to it H's the real oh you it's imagination H it's for real anyway so this this is your we're talking about how many years what a of guys you had there what a what did that the very prominent Russia Yesa that they became what did they say to you once things like theel Hoppers and kuki and all this stuff came out did they take great pride in that country I see well and Yi Liber very proud of our past relationship with Yesa and with Jewish music of course shy Brazil is now Russa in is and uh he looks back at it probably with the fondness but he's looking for more he's not the biggest K and Tuki fan uh I don't think at this point no okay go ahead but you mentioned how many years ago how many years ago early 60s man has she has she celebrating his birthday now coming up as she happy birthday to you thank you and has she said that how do you celebrate you go to akov you go to the oov restaurant is the best is that where you go remember I don't remember it I remember you once took me to lunch there I remember that really yeah you took me to a in fact the other day someone was saying to me there was this restaurant on 13th Avenue and I'm saying I think it was t or something this morning literally this morning at 400 a.m it hit me no it's I'm so happy I thought of this before country got here yes I wrote a jingle FR of I still remember it Woodburn Wood Wood Ridge Bay rid man Great Neck Little Neck th neck and neck flat Bush Park M reg Park Uptown downtown squ town lber will and every how many years we go is the best how many years did akov exist oh many years till we wrote that after that it was over goodbye fellas we had another version rice ping noodle pudding app potato pudding egg salad tuna salad CH potato salad dumplings white fish round ringer filter fish

windbot Lumber uh under underworld that was yours I remember that world who sign that Miller yes we had a lot of more more give me more what else what other products that I would have heard of 16th Avenue pharmacy at 16th Avenue Pharmacy the prices are low incredibly so and then we had how hard is it to do this Plaza is the place to go k Plaza was what was that that was one of the early supermarkets on con Island Avenue where was it pomegranate and what koser Plaza H and I right Richie Richie Shar Richie Shar across the street from Weiss's koser Plaza from Weiss's restaurant no same block as little further down there between h& I around now that's rala I don't know if you know maybe that's why they closed up I have a feeling that is why they closed up one second how does this work do you have to seclude yourselves in a room for hours to get Jingles like this or does it come to you as you're riding the subway how does this work as soon as we hear who the what the product is seriously as soon as the guy's willing to pay you never you never struggle with it you never sit there with writer's block no seriously you know what kind of Bara that is Jingles are pretty easy to write well I find that it depends who you are but yes I we yes he's very creative if you're doing K and Tuki is that also immed or some songs are immediate some songs you have to work on but you know usually uh inspiration strikes and you know you get the hook right away then you work around the hook oh did I get an angry email about you guys what you put out a country Us's Greatest Hits yeah good good morning call how do you do a good country us see greatest kid oh was it after the guy's nuts about the fact that there's no good morning CL you saw greatest the greatest came out first so wait greatest it's volume number two did you know well we put out actually you know that we put out the whole the whole catalog and good morning CLA strolls on there it is on there why is that such a do do you know that that's a you don't even know it you don't know that there are people out there who absolutely love that song well first of all it's a great song it is a great song it's a great song musically it's a great song and and the words just were that those were inspirational words a lot of songs that we wrote then that seem very apropo by the way by the way by the way I was almost criticized for leaving my two-month format of doing all Israel all the time here even last week Dr gorak was on the book about Marty Glickman a lot about anti-Semitism it really fit into the whole theme and people said country y see before I said I promise you that there's stuff in the catalog that is so appropriate for these times what do you have in mind why' you play no I didn't play anything I'm saying there's stuff that you have that's so appropriate for now you see that the video sometimes you got to fight when you're a Jew and they're showing his real bombing and that's a song you wrote what 35 years ago yeah and even that's the song that's same song Same CH and you should play that I know and uh if it's not the greatest hits I will yeah and of course uh little one I think is very appropriate has sure and uh the other one was uh all kinds of songs oh my we used to play that so much my that was an anth yeah we played that on JMM a lot W you remember this one grab your headphones country listen how amazing this song is come on the folks just call why not is this in the full catalog available [Music] yeah [Music] here it is listen carefully you got fight you're amazing obviously a uh what do we call it an adaptation of a very very popular coward the county coward in the county so you were saying I interruped he stole he stole my song yeah yeah roers guy lot of [Music] people song Johnny well what they think of uh what song was it didn't you did you do um a boy named zau yes sure yes how many people right what's with these guys all of what's with these

of them you'll have to tell us even the old orades or just the these I remember ones because on these I remember there were some ores question right not the but the these I remember that be com next thees collection you serious yeah there's three albums out there can never tell if he's serious not yeah why not who has more trouble you figuring out if he's being serious or you fig he's being serious we both have trouble by the way never serious biggest revelation of the day frankly for me after 40 years 150 Jingles between these two gentlemen that's the day for me biggest revelation of the day and and of course the terrible demise of the country ofy horse um and if anybody else wants Jingles out yeah are you kidding still M we need a jingle remember the old n single radio jingle who made that for you a combination of schamy Dax and gon LaVine really yeah good piece and as you said it was like yeah it's funny yeah it's funny you say that about Jingles cuz I always think that like writer's block is is you know like an automatic for everybody yes video how about he's to be admired right in the jingle world he us to be admired quity Quality Carpet I think it's the only one we can name is there other others oh yeah traveler's Choice he had travel was it a musical for traveler Choice yeah Trav I I would sing it I just don't remember at this moment but yeah there was a musical anyway how's he doing Dove Shar spok with him since we went off the air you ever connect with him Dove for a long time lived in an apartment building on rova gas which was a minute from my brother's apartment so there were many times that we ran into each other but in the last five years or so like till since the beginning of Co I don't think I've seen them or been in touch with them also we would see him in this neighborhood trivia we'd see him in this neighborhood because his three aunts lived on the low side of man really Mrs Mrs burtz Mrs pus and Mrs uh uh oh gosh give me a second they all they all lived right the one I can't think of was across the hall from me but uh oh Mrs Wick the three of them were the three sisters and they were his three aunts and he would come and visit in this neighborhood quite often yeah you know he has one of the most popular songs now that he wrote years ago at weddings correct that's his song his people don't know that nobody knows it's his song it's his song so funny my granddaughters one of my granddaughters just recently got married thank you where was The Wedding it was in the woodmar club hes going for the top Echelon country where do you think of that I was there oh you were there at the wedding beautiful wedding and we were just celebrating the other nights at M shabas we were listening to a whole bunch of Jewish music and and the girls want to hear Z I said oh I brought up Z I brought up do they had never heard it they didn't even know somebody had redone it now and it's a very very popular s how does that go Z all right we got to do one of the what did you say 60 70 how many country 67 on there 67 country songs2 how was it on Country y I think was 72 think we have I think we have 167 songs that's everything between everything I I don't think I ever broke it down but it must be around 70 72 songs I think yeah tell me which one we should play give me something the country the country I said good morning CLA you right that that seems to be very well we could play that but is there one that you think you know like I like for a favorite song by the way he's getting hungry no but CH is a very that's a significant country song that was a huge song There are if a guy came down from Mars and someone said tell me about country USI and hhy walfish they'd probably play that song Joe yeah there was another song that I was just thinking which one was it seven little kids yeah I just always feel bad for the parents in that van that's why I like people in June before the Bungalow season always ask me to play it and I'm like do I really have to play is it's so reminiscent a ride you don't want to take you know do we really have to play oh gosh um but there was another song that I was thinking was oh yeah but nobody in I don't know if anybody in this audience would ever agree with me on this do you know what song that you adapted that I think is like the quintessential country usel hubub it's a it's brilliant I mean you know it's I was just listening to a coming I was list you were seriously listening to yeah yesterday I was listening to I put in the USB I'm listening to all my songs I haven't heard them really some of them in years you know you don't play on your own stuff stuff came on I said that's that's [Music] funny sorry I knew that which came first we actually oh and you also have one yeah I got see I have to be careful now you have so many songs I can't confuse them you also have one calledo people oh that's a great song another one for those of you who never heard it listen carefully listen to have the beat comes in perfectly on this listen here we go oh yeah did and this is way before people were writing songs about doing the FY and learning every oh you did a one do a day song the official song of the U no see unoficial unofficial song official official just learn a Wonder for day s yeah I made it I I me and ra Shapiro I think Shapiro at CI the only time you'll hear two of them in the same sentence he came over to me he said Yi I got this great idea we need to uh get a jingle going for it that's our first jingle then you remember these words St able to learn this came from an LP entitled still on the loose around what year did that happen do you know the reason I'm asking is because oh so it's already in that era when doomi was getting popular was already in that era where it wasn't a foreign concept of people that every SCH had D etc etc you're always uh hooked into whatever was popular during that time that's the way to do it huh just looking at the list here because remember everybody the entire catalog is available on us by the way all seriousness and you have to understand who you're speaking to here there's some listeners who will walk into a store and purchase the USB there's some neighborhoods who do that but there a lot of people who are not used to shopping that way is this available online can someone just either order the USB or order to all those songs you know to their iTunes or something yeah well it's avable all the songs are available online oh all the all the streaming platforms they've all got it 246 noi radio so you can buy it by album or you could buy it by song you could buy it by song by by album most of music is selling it on most music.com all right so this is not just walk in and purchase a USB this is the Catal available everywhere everywhere you know what an LP is by the way I just used the word LP you remember that you know that they're coming back no I I'm telling you ain't gonna find a turntable in this studio there is actually there is actually a record store in Long Island in in lindbrook wow just records that's all sells vinyl records people they're making five bucks a week going bankrupt when you recorded the original Ares or when you were sitting in shosu with your roommates you're recording on what a a real toore machine like what are you doing cassette recorder oh you already recording on cassette little cassette recorder yeah and they're playing their instruments and as I mean uh schmy was playing guitar he taught me how to play guitar actually he made a chord sheet for me car was always laying around I remember once he came running in he was inspired someone came to him while he was walking home from yiva and he starts playing that's his NE that was played at every wedding for 30 years it probably still play and he had to figure out the chords you know it's a brilliant song it's a great song and it was controversial in its time what it was banned from being played in camaris used to play music in camaris over the loudspeaker that song was banned by the r at the time he says what did they play over the you know give me an example but that song but they play they play they would play and was all right but's Nan wasn't I could spend an hour on that but let's not waste our time but the was the major classic from that album our first AR show

ym look it up country J A MOA says loving country usy thanks for bringing them on I didn't have Jewish music in my house growing up but I absorbed their songs at my friend's houses great energy thanks so much oh very nice thank you thank you to these listeners the truth is that it's almost surprising to us how many times people come up to us and say we grew up with your music and thank you and now we're giving to the Next Generation and it's true I mean I I remember when we did the H concert oh few years ago remember that and I was I was literally astonished after the concert we're you know everybody's Milling around afterwards we're leaving how many of course there were people who were our age who came up and thanked us for the Nostalgia and all that but there were young kids and we weren't playing country YY stuff then we were doing our stuff and they came up and said this music is so fantastic you guys were the best in the this is a hunger for music that was written in those years because those songs were really really special true Bush Jewish songs no question that it's uh well we talked about this once before I think it's coming back a little bit I think the Melodies are starting to become more heart sick heartsick yes let's less uh no how do you feel about ever evolving Jewish music no comment country you asked the question I don't know what to say but people ask me that all the time I never I have a good answer for it correctly uh to each his own as they say a big libertarian that M se but as long as I have what to play on exactly but you guys this is how legendary you are I'm I'm backstage the last Major Performance you did I assume was the one with uh Mak right whole thing God bless youo he insisted you guys be there right and we remember him fondly so I'm back stage after the show and there's somebody there in the audience who never misses an opportunity God bless him and I love my relationship with him to Schoo with me and to meet up after the show he was very excited wanted to discuss the show with me it had just ended etc etc and he says to me I would love to continue speaking to you but country us he's here I must go meet him I don't know if you remember he took a picture we did the whole thing so you know I've reached a certain level of Fame but I still have not penetrated that country I see h wolfish bar that's impossible to surpass you can still Aspire I'm trying my heart every time I get older though you guys become more legendary so it's impossible what can I tell you see if there's anything else oh one of our listeners is begging us to play Om Myan and we said that that's that's an appropriate song we used to end the radio show yeah we always end the show we were a for 40 years you know 40 I just celebrated my 40th anniversary wow yeah you started that before us September 83 wow uh listener Judy ly says that was many years ago kosher Plaza she remembers yeah somebody remembers uh anybody else here um the person the person I don't know if she heard it because you were in the car but this was country's opening article this week in the Jewish views and the person who no the other the other side there you go and the person who uh who alerted me to it you know who kind me after is very glad that I referenced it hey country what can I tell you if you keep writing about me I'm going to bring it up on the a what can I simple as that so there you have it folks uh there's no uh there's no better kanuka gift according to the two gentlemen in front of me there is no better hanuka gift than the 10 gallon hat being worn by country Yi but if you're not into headgear the way country is there's another a great kanuka gift and that is the entire country USI collection on USB is they call it or as heshi said you could go to any of the streaming services and buy the entire catalog song by song K and album by album this K and Tui mystery of when it's coming out I mean you said not kanuka I said tuat you guys were dead pen you would not you would not agree with me that that's a legitimate deadline now I'll say por him well if he out by P him I don't know it depends on the recording schedule for tonight whether has she and Yi get this done right away or not I give them a I I said they never have writers block now they'll be waiting for months trying to think of a song you know I gave a whole eye in Hur this morning I don't know and it's a late pce off you know it's end of April so what what what are we telling the people when will the new Ki and Tui be released for the general public soon coming soon to a theater we will not get anything more definitive than that anyway there you have it we we can't really wrap up this conversation with anything other than oh my Y and no choice uh when was the last time you were in y country uh must have been about five years ago the bom mitz of my grandson do you have you have grandchildren in Israel or you went with them to Israel yeah we went to Israel for the bomit you made the Bon Israel oh we have family in Israel right you were there recently no there twice heading back on the 20th of December people people honestly in this audience there's nothing better than Bridging the Gap between Israel and here people love to have some type of connection and most people can't go so I'm glad I'm able to go that's fantastic listener ruane says um oh by the way if you want me to deliver some countrys cassettes to Israeli soldiers I'll do it you know if you think that that'll be a a morale booster H she's giving the indication that I might not be the best morale booster I heard in the marava tanks they have a CD Place do CD literally all right they should never know when he I know that's the problem I brought this before and I was poo poo I know I've I've seen videos of the tanks with music playing so yeah that's true certainly outside the tanks they play music when you were there have you you went there to went to Gaza you went to I did not go to Gaza did not go south did not go south I didn't think that was my role after the whole world had reported on what it looked like I didn't think that that was my role there I thought my role was more of and inspiration and Reporting with stories that people normally would not hear in the General Media i i f long and heart about that I think it was the right decision yes and um we get back there on the 20th of December you know what we're doing by the way um I don't know what your homes look like I don't know if you uh live with people who do or don't enjoy clutter I live with someone I live with someone Stacy seagull who God bless her cannot tolerate clutter cannot I mean if a room is not empty there's something wrong right what has she done

venetian blind cuz yours were blinds right that that made the country us logo I must have a venetian blind with my logo on it look what we have and by the way with this lighting when I leave the lights on at night I mean it lights up the whole neighborhood baby so that was inspired by country and hesy next time you're driving by with your family say guys look up there next time we were in China that that was inspired by us anyway I it's obvious I don't want to end this conversation it's obvious but you know what they say as country us you would say what all good things no as country us you would say we're being grabbed by the clock being CAU by the clock what are your better lines young man what are your better lines I like I like Jackie Mason's L all good things must come to an since this is such a good thing we'll stick around see if it gets better what can I tell you that's the story ladies and gentlemen country usy heshy W fish let's hope and pray that it doesn't take
