RE: Jan Peerce Sing Songs From "Fiddler on the Roof"

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

No it wasn't.   The songs were first sung by Shmuel Rudensky/Rodensky in a 
theatrical production by one of the Yiddish theaters in Tel Aviv in the 1960's. 
 He later recorded it and it is a wonderful, wonderful record.  I have the 
record downstairs but no time to look for the translater.   Peerce later 
re-recorded those songs.

You can buy the whole Yiddish version of Fiddler at 
http://store.yv.org/megofitman.html.
Our Simon must have it as well.
