Re: Nerdy question: Yiddish songbooks

[wiener <wiener...>]

Reyzl,

I believe that Abbi's posted list is only those books which are
undated, not the 200+ items.

Perhaps with your library and expertise you can help Abbi directly
with this project which no doubt will ultimately benefit those of us,
like you, who are interested in Yiddish songs.
