[78-L] Yiddish Home on the range

[I. Cubillo]

Aaahhh... that's it!

I didn't know about Mickey Katz, except for the fact that this name rings a
bell.. Is Mickey Katz related to the movie/great musical show CABARET? Could
this be the connection that rang a bell in my mind?

Joel Grey was great in Cabaret!
