Thanx a lot, Lorele and others who answered my question about der rebi
Elimelech.
Unfortunately, I can't get into the archives further back than 2003 - I would
have loved to read the discussion there.
While on the subject of rabbis, do people on the list know whether Rabenu Tam
of Manger's song was THE Rabbenu Tam (Rashi's grandson)?
Thanks,
Batya

Hi Batya,
There was a discussion about this a number of years ago on the list. Perhaps
you could search the archives? I think it was spelled differently in the
subject heading.
Meanwhile, it was written by Moyshe Nadir (pseudonym) in 1920-something.
Possible relationship to Old King Cole. There was a real Elimeylekh.
Klezmatics do a wonderful rendering of "Makht oyf!", a happy, drinking
sounding song for purim. Is it recorded? There are many wonderful purim
songs. I have two by Gelbart on my latest album, "Urim-burim" and "A gut
yontef, yidn". Text for both by J. Kaminsky. Then there's the cute "Hop,
mayne homentashen" by Pirozhnikov. Anyone know whether the music is by him,
also? I could go on for days.

Hi folks!
Can anybody tell me about Der Rebe Elimelech? Any connection with Old King
Cole? Was there a real Elimelech? Etc.?
Can you recommend any other happy or drinking songs for Purim?
Thanks a lot,
Happy Purim,
