Re: Yippies

[Trudi Goodman <goobietheg...>]

     Hey Leonard:
     I'm much more of a Hippie than a Yippie. I was primarily referring to 
an old Abbie Hoffman joke:  What's a Yippie?  And old Yiddishe Hippie.
      I can't say that I know all that much about Zippy.
      I know a bagel-baker in Chelsea, MA who answers to the name Zeppy 
though.
      My attachment to Hoffman is three-fold: a. under all his shticklach 
was a caring person. b. Georgia Gibbs is his first cousin
c. He was a working-class Jew from Massachusetts...as I am.
      As for the tuba question(back to music now)there is a wonderful 
Janacek tuba concerto...sounds very Jewish...anybody know it?
I've been looking for it.
      P.S. There are only 2 more weeks to National Chicken Month.
      P.P.S.S. Yes, Ari I know it's Elul. Have you Elost your sense of
Elhumour?
      L'shanah Tovah, Everyone!!!!
      Trudi the G
