It sounds pretty Kundaesque

Interview with R' Shmuel Kunda's son. I did not listen to it yet, nor to any of their other interviews, so don't blame me if it's boring...

In Baruch makes a simcha:
What time was the wedding? Did Baruch come home early or late?

"I'm home early from school."- Baruch
"Abba and I had to go to a wedding and we left when we saw how late it was getting." - Mom's letter
"At 3 o'clock in my house right after mincha" - Baruch
"see-um see-um.... Abba, you came just in time to help me out" -Baruch

Reminds me of the yet-to-be-released Boruch Learns About Eiruvin, a home-recorded album made by a big Kunda fan (and big talmid chochom) who later helped with the posthumous releases of Kunda albums.

I haven't heard the tape in a while, but I remember that when Boruch meets Mr. Pole (the lechi of the eiruv), he talks with a big Polish accent and reminisces about his service in the Polish army...

This is a(n almost) direct quote from Baruch Learns about Shabbos, I Just didn't want to call you a yingle, you're older than that.

Mr. Streetlamp Pole is also Shmuel Kunda

I know it well. I'm not sure why it made me remember that line on that tape, but something about it just made that click in my head.

Indeed, but only his voice. The writing was by Mrs. Knobel and Mrs. Neuman.

"If... I'll eat my hat"
"Do you want ketchup or mustard on your hat?"
Is this from any kunda tape?
If not, does anyone know where it's from?

Randomex · « **Reply #134 on:** August 03, 2022, 08:46:48 PM »

There's some possibility that it's from Lessons Learned in Moscow.

Mostly Music has 4 collections from Shmuel Kunda available for download for cheaper than individual sales here.
(also includes some Shimmy Shtauber ones so not for diehard purists)

His son mentions (at 9:58) that Reb Shmuel Kunda only started composing the songs starting with The Magic Yarmulke. Does anyone have a Chronological order of when the tapes were release by year?
And who composed all the song prior to The Magic Yarmulke?

I think that the Magic Yarmulka may have been the first 'story' album. The previous ones, which were Boruch ones, contained songs that were set to classic Jewish tunes.
