Re: aj raci kune draci

[Joshua Horowitz <horowitz...>]

There is a variant of that tune notated in "The Ultimate Klezmer" on page 
57, Cor, called "A Zekele" (A little Sack). That's not the translation of
the title you are looking for, but I assume you are once again working on
your immense catalogue of All The Jewish Tunes That Ever Were, so you might
want that tidbit. I couldn't find the discographic information of the Abe
Schwartz tune in the Spottswood catalogue, but my finder may be kaputt. Josh
