RE: Find a song for Sophie

[Geraldine Auerbach <jewishmusic...>]

Dear list

Can you help me find a song for Sophie?


 Dear Sir/Madam,

>I hope that you know what I'm talking about and that you can help me!

I have tried (surreptitiously) to get some more clues about this song, but
neither Al's (my partner) father or sister can shed any more light on it. It
is such a special song for him; when he talks about hearing it in Israel for
the first time in many years, he gets tears in his eyes! Awww!
(Unfortunately his mother died 22 years ago and he hadn't heard it sung
properly since then.)
I know you understand why I want to find this and I know you will do your
best to help me.
I have had to send this from work as I want it to be a surprise for him.
Thank you for your help.
Kind regards,
Sophie
