Introduction By David Kapralik (Columbia Records) / My Name Is Barbara (Live At The Bon Soir, Greenwich Village, Nyc - Nov. 5, 1962)

Ladies and gentlemen

Thanks, sorry
Uh, on behalf of Columbia Records, I should like to welcome you here to
The live recording session of Barbra Streisend ("Streisand"), uh, 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

Uh, for me and for everyone at Columbia, she's a singular artist
Uh, you can't put her in any category
Uh, she's come full-blown on the theatrical scene
And we're honored tonight
To be present at her first recording session for a Columbia album
May I introduce, very proudly, Ms. 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 Barbra
