[HANASHIR:15938] "Miskeit"

[Robert Sharff <sharff...>]

Dear List Members,

I have an acquaintance, Denise, whose mother told her about a song 


she remembered loving as a girl called "Miskeit," 


(she pronounced it to me as Miss-kite), and Denise would like 


to be able to find it for her, if possible. Maybe someone on the 


list could help out. We don't know if it is Yiddish, or Polish 


or Russian.  "Miskeit" means unlucky or unfortunate (or worse, 


mean things) in Yiddish, doesn't it?

Todah rabah,

Linda Sharff
