Re: Interview with Josh Waletzky

Josh is involved with many things, but the way we are familiar with him is 
through the song "Wissotsky's Tea," a Yiddish song he wrote which was 
performed on one of the early Yugntruf albums.  We recorded it on our second 
album (Maxwell Street Wedding).  It's based on a Sholom Aleichem story about 
a poor woman whose only son is drafted into the Russian army because she 
lacks the necessary bribe money to have him declared unfit.
