Hi, again: A radio show for whom/where? There are, as you probably know,
many versions of By the Waters--and I have (intersections-wise) a couple of
African ones (aside from the reggae one, which you probably know). Would
they be of interest? I'll try to see if I have anything else relevant--I
think there's a Yiddish song called "Yam Lid" or some such--I mean, I know
there is, but am unsure of the title and am not _certain_ (tho I think) that
it's relevant. Are you familiar?--rlc
