Re: A Gitn Purim

[Lori Cahan-Simon <l_cahan...>]

I heard your version from a relatively young friend of mine, but a 91 
year old friend sang me a version she said her sensitive father would 
get very angry at when her two older brothers sang it.  Now I have to go 
and get it.  I'll post it later.
