Re: Jewish music for accordion

[Robert Cohen <rlcm17...>]

What about the folk music of early Israel?  I think there's an accordion on 
a lot of those wonderful records by, e.g., Oranim Zabar. I'm thinking of 
songs like "Erev shel Shoshanim," "El Ginat Egoz," "Finjan," etc., 
etc....BTW, it's "rachum" (both times), with an "em," meaning 
compassionate--may just have been a typo.
