RE: new lyrics on Shnirele Perele?

[Lorin Sklamberg <lsklamberg...>]

OK, list, here it is from the horse's mouth, as it were.

I changed two lines:

"Meshiekh vet kumen haytiks yor" has become
"Mir darfn meshiekh hayntiks yor"

"Veln di yidn in erets-yisroel aynshteyn" has become
"Veln ale mentshn in erets-yisroel aynshteyn"

These happened spontaneously and I didn't give them much thought. They just
expressed how I felt at a particular performance, and continue to feel.

If you don't like it, get your own band and sing it yourself! Jeez.
