RE: Jewish Tom Lehrer

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

Thank you so very, very much.  This is terrific.  I knew he had to be 
Jewish.  My husband said no.  I now feel vindicated. :)

I found all of Lehrer's complete songs at www.rdrelectronics.com - 
/DHC/SML/ and
http://www.rdrelectronics.com/DHC/SML/Tom%20Lehrer%20-%20(Hannukah%20in)  
%20Santa%20Monica.mp3
(It takes a long time to download.)

Actually, Amazon has long excerpts of all of Tom Lehrer's songs on Real 
Player at 
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00004SWBH/qid=1005284484/sr=8-1/  
ref=sr_8_3_1/102-4016889-4332141.  So much easier to listen to.

And there is a klez background to the music yet too.  This is fabulous.  I 
never heard this song.  He sure does sound like he's Jewish.

I'm spending Hannukah

Lighting candles, wearing sandals
By the sea.

I spent Shavuos
In East St. Louis
