About Marty Levitt and his show, from his son Dave:
 

On this show the Barry Sisters are featured. Their version of "Alta Tzigeiner" is dedicated to “Gypsy” Joe Kutcher. Joe was now living in Florida along with his brother and trombonist Sammy Kutcher. There’s also a nice track from Sammy Musiker. Sammy was the son in law of Dave Tarras and was also a member of the Gene Krupa band. There are also a few nice Theodore Bikel selections as well as Steve and Eydie. Marty mentions how Steve Lawrence used to come to his house in Brownsville to study piano with his father Jack. Enjoy!
