I went to Techiya's spring concert, which had Honorable Menschen as their guest. Yay, Jewish a cappella!

Honorable Menschen started, and I was not organized enough to jot down their play list. They sang "By the Waters of Babylon," and a Luganda/Hebrew song from Uganda. And they sang a David Broza song, Mitachat Lashamayim (Note: linked YouTube videos of the songs are non-a cappella versions throughout.). There were a couple of others, but my memory has failed :-(.

Techiya made it easy on me by listing everything in the program:
  1. Melech Shelach (Izhar Ashdot)
  2. Cuando El Rey Nimrod (traditional Ladino song)
  3. Mah Ashiv (from Psalms)
  4. Elokai N'tzor (from Jewish liturgy)
  5. Hafinali (Subliminal)
  6. Halikha LeKesariya [Eli, Eli] (Hannah Senesh, David Zahavi)
  7. a filk on a Green Day song, "Wake Me Up When Passover Ends"
  8. New Soul (Yael Naim)
  9. Rumania, Rumania (Aaron Lebedeff)

Interspersed between the songs were little skits about Lag B'Omer Homer looking for help counting to Shavuot, and on his quest for the Wizard of Schnoz's help ("Follow the Infinite Corridor"), gets some companions: Tu B'Shvat Scott, the Shmini Atzeret Ferret, and Tzom Gedalia Talia. Very silly stuff. (And for the record, the schnoz was noticeable, but the help was lacking, and the friends found that they could help each other instead.)


Totally unrelated: two other videos I came across while finding those linked above that I really liked: Molly Picon in a klezmer band, 1936, and Mayumana. There's also a lot of Gidi Gov stuff available, which made me all nostalgic; I listened to Not a Day Left (on cassette!) almost every erev Shabbat the second year I was in Israel.

  • a large bunch of lacinato kale, Lady Moon Farm, FL
  • a large bunch of green curly kale, Lady Moon Farm, FL
  • a large bunch of green chard, Lady Moon Farm, FL
  • a medium-large bag of spinach
  • a small bunch of what I'm guessing is tat soi or a close relative thereof
  • a small bag of green beans
  • a pint of cherry tomatoes, Peace River Organics, GA
  • a regular tomato (hothouse?)
  • a cucumber
  • a green pepper
  • a pound of strawberries, Miles Berry Farm, GA
  • a bunch of scallions
  • three small onions (likely local and conventional)
  • four apples (likely local and low-spray IPM)
  • four biggish sweet potatoes
  • a bunch of asparagus (it must be spring!)

This feels like a lot of greens. Perhaps I'll sautee some with onions (and garlic, if I get some garlic) and freeze it.
