"Oh, I would help for that to happen quickly
Then we would be like great Lords
The wine would flow like streams
L'chaiyim good brothers,
let's live happily
'Next Year in Jersusalem'!"

"L'Chayim good brother
Let's drink together
Long live our host!
May G-d grant me and us
Health from head to toe
May G-d grant
that the Messiah should come" ...

"Adjon a jó isten,
hogy a Messiás jöjjön
Aj, csak segítenek szaporán
Akkor leszünk mi majd nagyurak
folyik a bor akar a patak
L'Chaim Jó Testvérek
vigan együtt éljünk
L'shona haboh Yerusalayim" ...

Bob Cohen, leader of the band in the recording above, once kindly sent me the lyrics when I was asking him about this song.

"L'Chaim Jó Testvérek
igyatok velem
a házigazda éljen sokáig
Adjon a jó isten,
Nekem és nekünk
Egészséget fejtől bokáig" ...

discerning eyes will recognize in that intro-Frailach [sic] before Hatikvah, the melody to A Yor Nokh mayn Khasene, or the Hungarian Jewish song L'chaim Jó Testvérek

I went to school in a very conservative part of eastern ontario so i pretty much lost touch except for some of the other queer ppl from my HS. and yeah random friend requests over the years. so for me it's more people I vaguely knew through music stuff in my 20s or from university.

in the case of the WEVD in house dude Nicholas Saslavsky he died in 1965 so I guess it'll be fair game in 2035? 🥺 but to your point yes there are so many "orphaned" amazing works that are boxed away surely through no choice of the composers or arrangers.

there's an English language discussion about the production of the podcast happening on January 20, which is how I heard about it. although it starts quite early in my time zone so I may not be awake enough to appreciate it.

their VST only goes down to C3 even though a real instrument has a full octave below that. meaning the VST can't play actual full cimbalom arrangements... FWIW in the ranges it does have, it certainly sounds very nice.

Indonesian friend on Mastodon clarified that it's just the Grok app which is blocked , which seems like it doesn't really get at the main avenue of abuse, random X users asking it to create horrible things in the replies....
