Arnie "Woo Woo" Ginsberg, I think! lol He used to be a radio announcer/DJ here in Boston years ago. He was on WMEX from 1958 until 1965, and was also on WRKO for a time as well. Aah, those were the days! Gas was 31 cents a gallon, a dozen eggs were 57 cents, and a gallon of milk was only 49 cents. And you could actually understand the words in a song! Anyway, to answer your question; the name Ginsberg is German/Jewish.
