Re: English lyrics to Hava Nagila?

[Jeff Klepper <klepper...>]

There's an old-time Tin Pan Alley Songwriter who retired in Florida and who
ocassionaly sends to cantors the lyrics to an English version he wrote
called "Happy Nagila" along with another song he wrote: "This Is Your Day,
Bride and Groom."  I forgot the guy's name (he used to write songs for
Frankie, et al!) .  If I ever find it again I'll post it.
