Below you’ll find my quickie submission to NPR’s Tiny Desk Contest. Low tech. Just me and my iPhone in my wife’s sewing room. I used the iMovie “dreamy” visual setting. It was a dreamy time. I hope that there’s a senior division, can’t compete with those young whippersnappers!

There are 101 minutes more of this stuff! Yiddish gets better as I go on. I’m rusty, have only spoken Yiddish with my cat over the last 20 years. But I love that accent, pure Galitzianer. My dad would have been pleased, but he would have also said I needed a haircut.

Thank you, Yiddish Book Center and Christa Whitney, for coming to my home and making this so easy and fun.

There will be a musical performance in early May that involves me and that I’m excited about, but can’t yet say anything about except that I’m excited about it.

That’s all I’m going to say!
