Introduction by David Kapralik (Columbia Records) / My Name is Barbara (Live at the Bon Soir, Greenwich Village, NYC - Nov. 5, 1962)

[DAVID KAPRALIK, spoken] Ladies and gentlemen? Thanks Sorry On behalf of Columbia Records, I should like to welcome you here to the live recording session of Barbra Streisand [BARBRA STREISAND, spoken] Streisand [DAVID KAPRALIK, spoken] Streisand There's an awful lot that can be said about Barbra but I think that it's superfluous because you're going to be hearing her for yourself For me and for everyone at Columbia she's a singular artist, you can't put her in any category She's come full blown on the theatrical scene and wе're honored tonight to be prеsent at her first recording session for her Columbia album May I introduce, very proudly, Miss Barbra Streisand [BARBRA STREISAND] My mother said that babies come in bottles But last week she said They grew on special baby bushes I don't believe in the storks either They're all in the zoo Busy with their own babies And what's a baby bush anyway? My name is Barbara
