Mayn glik hob ikh gevunen ven ikh hob dikh gefunen

I sang this afternoon at a synagogue in Newton and it could have gone a lot worse.

(There are ways in which it could also have gone better, but that's not the point, T. Witt.)

There will be more of this.

What did you sing?

A set of Yiddish folksongs, the three Britten settings I performed for the benefit concert in October, a selection of early Broadway, mostly Gershwins and Jerome Kern. I'd have preferred a more obscure program, but there will be other concerts. I opened with "Oy Dortn, Dortn" and closed with "Oh! How I Hate to Get Up in the Morning" and the audience seemed to like everything in between.

Also, mazel tov! May you increase in strength.

Thank you!

That sounds like a good set. Did you know that the Yiddish Book Center has an overflowing (but disordered) Yiddish sheet music collection? They are willing to sell duplicates.

. . . No. Goodbye, money.

Alternately, I can ping my aunt the yiddish actress and find out if she's getting rid of any sheet music.

That reminds me, I need to MP3 some stuff for you that I got out of my father's tape collection.
