[Trudi Goodman <goobietheg...>]

Hey Trudi says enough already, or genug avay!
you like me, love me, hate me,or hate my yiddish or combinations of all of 
the above... at least I love the language and I intend to help keep it in 
motion and alive. Either disrespect me to my face or leave me aleyn vi a

and by the way, I keep telling you that it's not pure Yiddish, but hey, it 
ain't pure German either...I know the difference having sung German Lieder 
for years.
happy new year and now get on with life...
