[78-L] FW: [JM] Earliest recording of "Hatikvah" ^

[David Lennick]

I hope Kipnis actually lived from 1878 to 1942..otherwise, I presume he'll be 
portrayed by Brad Pittstein. This is like a traffic sign I saw yesterday which 
prohibits left turns from 9AM to 7AM Monday to Friday, and good luck figuring 
THAT one out.
