RE: Klezmer noels

[Reyzl Kalifowicz-Waletzky <reyzl...>]

Well, I looked and indeed all the shows are not only archived but each item 
is catalogued.

Last night's program will be replayed on the radio at noon today before it 
will be archived on the radio stations web site.


Listen to the Hanukah song at http://phc.mpr.org/performances/19991204/
Even the text is provided  (by clicking "Chanukah Time".  Here it is:

     Just see those Dreidels turning
     And candles burning all night
     Why it's that Chanukah time
     We (Jews) call the Festival of Light.

     I'm busy buying Chachkes
     And frying Latkes for you (and you and you)
     Come on, there's lots of bargains
     At Saks Fifth Avenue.

     Bridge 1:
     Oy Gevalt, Oy Gevalt, Oy Gevalt, you know,
     I'm sick of the snow
     I'm dreaming of a warmer place to go.
     Gonna shlep, gonna shlep the family
     They're comin' with me.
     We'll celebrate Chanukah on the beaches of Miami.

     With all the colds they're catching
     My friends are kvetching, "Oy Vey!"
     Let's have our agent book us
     And fly our tuchus away.

     Bridge 2:
     There's a shabbas dinner at the house of Rabbi Cohen
     It'll be the perfect evening in a kosher home
     We'll be noshing on foods we love to eat and maybe
     take a snooze
     Then sit on the couch and eat some more and schmuz
     Schmuz, schmuz, schmuz.

     Then the rabbi says the blessing and we say, "Amen."
     It's a ritual that we'll repeat each year again,
     And the children will laugh and open gifts and we'll just
     watch and kvell
     And listen again to the stories that Bubbe and Zeite tell.

     And now it's time to finish
     This bissel of Yiddish right here
     Wishing both Jews and Goyim
     A happy and healthy New Year . . . L'chaim!

I believe that you can get realaudio versions of Prairie Home Companion
from their website.

The medley was a delightful reworking of some klezmatics faves and
some Christmas stuff. It bears repeating. Delightful!
