Re: Olympics

[SICULAR <SICULAR...>]

hi,
same old same old... what makes you think Abe Schwartz didn't just take 
credit for something from the old country?  

I saw a Rumanian gymnastics performance at some earlier Olympics & recognized 
a tune too, but why assume that its origin is THE source that we know it from 
in klezmer?  for that matter, a post-Soviet Russian film depicting 
Stalinist-era state policemen has a theme which I know as YOSL, YOSL.  
nevertheless, I've been paying for the rights as claimed by the Harry Fox 
agency et al, in order to issue a version on our "Yiddish For Travelers" 
recording.
