RE: Eyn Keyloheynu and other drinking songs

It's been said before but bears saying again.  Thank you Cantor Weiss for
your learned and valuable contributions to this list.

All of this beings to mind a choral song I sang when participating too long
ago in a synagogue choir.  It was called "Moishe ganvet arbes."  Its message
was that the stealing of others' music and passing them off as Jewish music
was stealing something as worthless as chickpeas.  I'm not sure I now agree
with that premise but it was fun to sing anyway.

Leonard Koenick
