I'm not done with the Yiddish book publisher logo cleaning up-project, but I might preemptively dabble in some Yiddish periodical logos. Should I limit the images to the Yiddish logos, or include some of the newspaper-ey accompaniment of price + multilingual labeling?
@AWeiserComposer @CantaloupeNY @yivoinstitute Congratulations, Alex! Hope to get to perform your music sometime soon!
Like the stars in heaven In a dark blue night, Your streets are illuminated, Your towers are illuminated Great noisy city. Your towers are illuminated, Your windows are illuminated, Illuminated like the stars In a dark blue night. Support YIMBY music: alexweiser.bandcamp.com/album/in-a-dar…
Some of "In A Dark Blue Night" is in English, and this passage from @AWeiserComposer's grandmother is a reminder of how much freedom kids used to have to roam. Kids growing up in the suburbs nowadays can't even conceive of being able to head out and explore the world like this.
"In A Dark Blue Night" is the urbanist album of the year. The fact that it's largely in Yiddish is just a bonus. Gildener honik (Golden Honey) Words by Celia Dropkin
Lord knows I love to post photos of the Hudson River, especially at sunset, so these words by Morris Rosenfeld really moved me, especially when performed by Annie Rosen.
