Re: review! (Maxwell Street) & Picon lyrics

[SICULAR <SICULAR...>]

hi,
I love that Shpil du Fidl too; we have a version soon to be released by 
Metropolitan Klezmer.  Just two little things which I notice on the Maxwell 
St version which differ from Picon's lyrics as delivered in the film "Yidl 
mitn fidl" (these were points which Yankl Salant at YIVO helped me with a few 
months back, so I'm passing along the results of his careful listening... 
this is in YIVO orthography):

on the soundtrack, Molly Picon sings "libe-lid" rather than libes-lid.  And 
Picon has it as "nor du veyst aleyn, vi es nogt un tsit" [how it haunts/gnaws 
and tugs/pulls] rather than "nor du veyst aleyn, vi azoy ikh fil".  If it's 
published elsewhere in a different version, I'd be interested to know that.
