yes, I remember seeing that Soviet animation in the early 1980s... it was wonderful, with that 78 of the tango playing. do you remember the title of that animated film, Lori?
there's also a glasnost'-era film about the NKVD in the 1930s which has the melody of Yosl, Yosl in the background; it made me wonder if that tune had been borrowed from a Russian folk song. any ideas? thanks, Eve drummer/bandleader Metropolitan Klezmer & Isle of Klezbos 151 First Avenue #145 NYC NY 10003 USA tel: 212-475-4544 fax: 212-677-6304 www.metropolitanklezmer.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------+ Hosted by Shamash: The Jewish Network http://shamash.org A service of Hebrew College, which offers online courses and an online MA in Jewish Studies, http://hebrewcollege.edu/online/ * * FREE JEWISH LEARNING * * Shamash invites you to join MyJewishLearning.com, a comprehensive, objective, authoritative and interactive learning resource in all areas of Judaism.
