Philip Teitelbaum's taped recollections (Summer 2007)

Note: audio is ON

Peter:	OK, so we're talking about Papineau, and Ettinger

Philip: Mrs Ettinger, very big heavy lady, and I remember that among her children there was one that used
	to sing a song and it was something like "Marvin Ettinger, said the old eye, he's born...something...
	something...on the first of July...

Peter:  He said his own name? 

Philip: Something like that.

Peter: (laughs) - he had a good voice?

Philip: He had a nice voice, yeah.

Peter:  So, who's in that family?

Philip: Well, and the mother Mrs Ettinger whose husband was a very thin man - slim guy, and I know there
	were other children besides Marvin, but I don't remember any of their names.

Peter:  And they lived...

Philip: They lived on the west side of ....I believe it was Cartier Street.


From a previous clip:

Philip:	Ettinger lived between Glazer and Schwartz and I remember Mrs. Ettinger was a huge woman.
        I don’t remember the father. I remember they had a son who had a son who had a beautiful beautiful
        voice and uh… one of the songs that he sang was something like “Sunny Old Man on the First of July”.

Peter:	(laughter) How do you remember this?

Philip:	I do. It’s in my head…  so vividly that he would sing this this song very very good.  And that’s
        all I can know about the Ettinger’s. Then there was the Wise family.
