I learned a melody for Eyn Keylokeynu at B'nai Jacob, a synagogue in 
Mendota Heights near St. Paul, Minnesota.  Since I've mostly attended 
services there on Peysekh, I don't know whether this is specifically 
a festival melody or one they use all the time.  Nor do I know where 
it comes from.

So, I sang a verse into my computer and uploaded it to a page on my 
website.  You can download it at 
http://www.ganeydn.com/soundfiles.html .   It's 180K in size.

If anyone knows where this melody comes from, please let us all know.
