>> From the Library of Congress in Washington, DC. ^E00:00:04 ^B00:00:25 [ Applause ] ^M00:00:32 >> Betsy Peterson: We should do this more often [laughter]. My name is Betsy Peterson and I want to say welcome to all of you. I am the director for the American Folklife Center here at the Library of Congress and on behalf of the staff and indeed everyone here at the Library, I want to welcome you all this evening. We have a very special concert. The Homegrown Concert Series of which this is the culminating concert -- and I think it's very fitting that that is the case. The Homegrown Concert Series allows the American Folklife Center to present the very best traditional artists from around the country. We work with folklorists and cultural specialists around the country to identify individuals and bring them here to share their art with all of you and with all of us. And so, this is going to be a wonderful evening. With these concerts, we also record them and we will be recording them tonight. And it will eventually be webcast, put up on our website so that individuals from throughout the world will be able to hear this concert and future generations will be able to listen in as well. So as a result, I just want to ask you, no pictures this evening and to please turn off your cell phones out of respect to all the beautiful music we are about to hear. Also, I want to say that in beginning the concert, I am only the emcee and the individual who is going to bring on the person who is going to introduce Flory this evening. His name is Jon Lohman and he is the coordinator of the Vermont -- Vermont, Virginia Folklife Program based in Charlottesville and based at the Virginia Foundation for the Humanities. And he was going to give us a little bit of background about Flory Jagoda and the music we are about to hear tonight. So please give him a warm welcome. ^M00:02:42 [ Applause ] ^M00:02:50 >> Jon Lohman: Well, thank you. Isn't this a beautiful evening? What an amazing -- ^M00:02:53 [ Applause ] ^M00:02:57 This is such an honor too to get to introduce someone tonight who's really, I'd say, a national treasure but really just a treasure to the world, a gift to the world. She's all of our nona [grandmother], I think [laughter]. And I got to meet Flory the first time was about 11 or 12 years ago when I started in my position as state folklorist in Virginia, and the National Endowment for the Arts announced who would be receiving the National Heritage Fellowships, which for those of you who don't know, that's the highest honor that the United States bestows on a traditional artist. So part of my thing is to look at it to see is anybody from Virginia and there it was, this beautiful woman from Falls Church, that year received the National Heritage Fellowship which is the highest honor that the U.S. gives to a traditional artist. ^M00:03:43 [ Applause ] ^M00:03:48 So I called Flory and, uh -- just a beautiful woman. We just had a wonderful conversation and she told me about her grandmother and she told me about this Ladino language which I didn't know as much about it as I should and have since, and the Altaras family and about her life. And I was just so taken by her. One of the things she told me when we were talking, too, is that she had a real concern about this language which of course dates back to the late 15th century and further, that it is preserved and that its music that she learned from her grandmother and that her family sang also carry on. And so she has taught many people as you'll see tonight that you're going to -- this wonderful representation of all the people who have been touched by Flory and her music. It also encouraged us at the Foundation to begin an apprenticeship program which we started that year, Folklife Apprentice Program where we pair masters and apprentices of all different types of traditional art forms. And Flory was in at the very first year. She apprenticed a young woman named Susan Gaeta, whom many of you may know. Yes, Susan. [ Applause ] And Susan is going to be here tonight and it was just an amazing experience that they had together. And Susan was so touched by the experience that she created in Flory's name the Flory Jagoda Sephardic Music Fund at our Foundation. Her and father started that and I just want to give them appreciation. That's such an incredible thing. ^M00:05:17 [ Applause ] ^M00:05:21 And it has allowed -- has helped to make this concert possible tonight, the filming that's going to take place, as well as future apprenticeships. So this year, Flory is first person to do it again, 10 years later, she's apprenticing a young woman named Aviva Chernick who you'll see tonight who's also a fantastic singer. So in your programs, there is a little bit about that fund. Many of you have donated and if you care to, it will help to carry this on and it'd be a wonderful testament to Flory's work. And I just want to say, you know, since that phone call; I've gotten to know Flory real well. I've been fortunate enough to go to her Seder a couple of times and oh, the food, by the way. Flory is -- we know Flory as a singer. I have to tell you, I think a lot of you are her friends so you've probably been to her home either at Falls Church or now Alexandria. And when you walk in, one thing you see are beautiful paintings all over the wall. Flory is an amazing painter. I don't know people -- I never knew that until I walked into her home, beautiful paintings. All the instruments, all over the walls. As I said, the incredible food in the kitchen. And also, there's room -- there's a room overlooking the river that just has posters of concerts she's done and festivals she's been at and letters that people have written her, thanking her and you see that she's -- her impact is all over the world, absolutely global. In fact, we had a really fun time one time-- I showed her YouTube! And we sat in front of YouTube and we typed in Ocho Kandelikas on YouTube [laughter]. I recommend you try that. It's amazing. You'll see a children's choir in Italy and then all over the world. There's even like a punk rock band from Iceland that does a cover of the song. And we had so much fun. And every time I think of Flory, I think of laughter and joy. And I think you all do too and it's, you know, we all know that you know, she came from a very, very difficult -- a horrible situation that none of us could imagine. You know, what happened to the Sephardic community in Sarajevo and throughout Europe and that she was able to escape from. And it -- what always strikes me about her is that her music and her life and the way she is, is so joyous and so positive and to me, that's just such a testament, I think, kind of to the human spirit and also to what music can do for that. And so, I just feel so blessed to be able to say this which is that I really want you all to welcome -- it's such an honor to do this, Ms. Flory Jagoda. ^M00:07:53 [ Applause ] ^M00:08:34 [ Background Sounds ] ^M00:08:43 >> Flory Jagoda: Good evening. It is so good to be here and see this beautiful sight in front of me. I am so pleased that we have this evening where I have an opportunity to -- for you to share my songs, my life stories. So we will start very-- In fact, I want you to know they put me in this chair and they said, "This is where you sit and don't get up. That's your chair for the whole evening." [Laughter] So I am going to be here and you will see me the whole evening. This is Shabbat. The customary thing for any evening that is personally meaningful to you is to do a beraha. Beraha is a prayer. They wanted tonight, I would to start with this bendicion di madre, the beraha, the prayer -- the mother blesses her children. ^M00:10:02 You have -- I'm very proud of the programs you have and I think my daughter, Betty, went through all this problem and troubles to do the translation so you can follow me. ^M00:10:22 [ Singing in Ladino ] ^M00:12:13 [ Applause ] ^M00:12:22 The Padre Piadozo really heard me and I have my whole family here. I'll start with my granddaughter. This is Ariel Lowell. ^M00:12:38 [ Background Sounds ] ^M00:12:53 We are going to start this beautiful program that I'm very, very -- I couldn't consider myself lucky to have so many musical friends and students that who are all we have a chance to share the songs that we would sing, play, study, teach, learn. We are starting with L'Amor, a word that has been used for centuries in every country, love. >> Ariel Lowell: let me put this around here. ^M00:13:48 [ Singing in Ladino ] ^M00:16:28 [ Applause ] ^M00:16:39 >> And now, we would like to welcome my Aunt Betty, Uncle Elliot and Mother Lori. ^M00:16:46 [ Applause ] ^M00:16:56 >> Flory Jagoda: Oh, I thought I have to leave but I don't [laughter]. >> Betty Jagoda Murphy: Not a chance. Not a chance. ^M00:17:02 [ Background Sounds ] ^M00:17:25 [ Music ] ^M00:17:29 >> Flory Jagoda: To have a good mishpaha, [laughter] -- do you know what's a mishpaha? Family -- definitely you still sing together as we do in love and also tell many stories. In my family, I always tell them what it used to be long time ago [laughter]. One of the stories that is really wedding, the main thing is that the family teaches the future bride what to do and what not to do. So this family has a daughter who's going to get married and before the wedding, the whole family sits down with the bride and they tell her, "This is what you do. This is what you don't do and this is what you do." The main thing is that they tell her, "When you meet in suegra -- who knows what's suegra? Father in law, call him my dear father. You meet la suegra; call her my dear new mother." So it goes through the whole family. So this is the song we're going to sing for you and let's get going [laughter]. This is how I handle them [laughter]. Sometimes it works; sometimes it doesn't [laughter]. And now, I think they're all -- you're all going to start, aren't you? >> Betty Jagoda Murphy: Yes, we are going to start. >> Flory Jagoda: See? ^M00:19:28 [ Singing in Ladio ] ^M00:22:35 [ Applause ] ^M00:22:50 [ Background Sounds ] ^M00:22:59 >> Flory Jagoda: Well, we're still with the wedding. Weddings go on, and on, and on, you know. You don't stop. So this wedding really put to a young bride who has some tough times because the custom, the old Bosnian weddings, Bosnian Sephardic wedding, was that the bride had to embroider a beautiful vest like what Elliot's wearing [laughter]. Yes, he does. And that's a pretty one too. Okay [laughter]. And the problem was for the brides because they had to embroider this beautiful vest which would hang in the synagogue alcove so people can see how clever and artistic the bride is. >> Betty Jagoda Murphy: Lori, you did that, didn't you? >> Lori Jagoda Lowell: Yes [laughter]. >> Flory Jagoda: So I don't want to go into family problem, we've a lot of problems here, okay? This bride has a problem. She never made it to finish the vest before the wedding. Now that was a big problem for the family because everybody would -- after the wedding, they would see the vest and say, "My God! She's so talented! How do you do it?" So this song is about this bride and the vest. [ Music ] As every -- who did that? >> Lori Jagoda Lowell: I did. Sorry, I was early. I thought you were ready [laughter]. >> Betty Jagoda Murphy: This will be a long night [laughter]. >> Flory Jagoda: I think this only happens in America [laughter]. It really does because in Bosnia where I was born, Mother said, "Who did that?" "I did, Ma." [Laughter] Not in America [laughter]. All right, so we are going to start with a beautiful song, I think it's a beautiful song. Why? Because I wrote it [laughter]. But they are not singing it the way I taught them [laughter]. So its America again, see? But let's try anyway. So, Il Bastidor is the vest and this is what we called it in Bosnian Sephardic language, Il Bastidor. So what am I doing? [ Inaudible Speaker ] This? >> I'm going to sing, could I? >> I just sing, I'm told [laughter]. I don't play. Let's play. ^M00:26:06 [ Singing in Foreign Language ] ^M00:31:09 [ Applause ] ^M00:31:25 Flory Jagoda: As we have told you before, I was told to sit. So whoever is coming to the stage -- it's not only me now. It's the most wonderful friends and friends of my family. But I'm just going to sit here but I was told to sit [laughter]. >> Lori Jagoda Lowell: Hi, it's good to see everybody. Welcome. So my two little friends here, Susan and Betsy will be singing with me. Our group is called Colors of the Flame and we derived from playing an honorary concert for my mother way back in 1995. David Shneyer, one of the gentlemen who's on stage with us is really from the Jewish Folk Arts Society invited us to do a concert in honor of my mother so I had to put a group together really quick. And I did so. I called my friends to come over and see if we could put a couple of songs together and we started singing. And it sounded pretty sweet. Like, "Oh, this is good." Then I called my brother and my sister and I said, "You got to hear this. Come on. We're going to play this online concert." We put a medley together and it was really special and really fun kind of stuff. So here we are singing about love once again. Does everybody remember the first time you fell in love? Maybe when you were 18 years old and you got a little flutter in your stomach and you were really excited. Well, this song represents that, being in the spring of your youth and falling in love and not really knowing what to do and there were days when we just pray that they'll call. ^M00:33:16 [ Singing in Foreign Language ] ^M00:35:04 [ Applause ] ^M00:35:17 One more? Okay. This song is about the beautiful mountains that surround the coastal town on the Adriatic Sea, Raguza. And many of you know it as Dubrovnik, and it's just about the beautiful mountains that surround Raguza and how we'll never forget you. ^E00:35:39 ^B00:35:47 [ Singing in Ladino ] ^M00:38:40 [ Applause ] ^M00:38:55 [ Background Sounds ] ^M00:39:27 >> Flory Jagoda: The stories that I always tell my children, most of it is always about my family in Vlasenica which is a village outside of Sarajevo where I was born. I always tell them about my tiyas-- Tiya is an aunt. I had a lot of tiyas. I had Tiya Mazalta, Tiya Gracia, Tiya Luna, Tiya Sofira, Tiya Estreya. ^M00:40:02 The family was large [laughter]. The beauty of it was you don't feel good, your mother is not well, there is always a tiya who would come, and help, and cook, and take care of us. So I have written a story about las tiyas. And let's sing, let's play it. Let's play about Tiya Mazalta. They each had a holiday that we would all come to celebrate together. So Tiya Mazalta usually would have us for Hanukkah. Tiya Luna would have us for noche de Hagada, Pesach [Passover]. Tiya Mazalta we already have dinner so we could go to the other Tiya Paloma. Tiya Paloma had the [speaking in Ladino]. That means we ate in a Suka. So let's musically take them to Vlasenica and sing about our Las Tiyas now, okay? Here we go. ^M00:41:16 [ Singing in Ladino ] ^M00:44:02 [ Applause ] ^M00:44:19 [ Background Sounds ] ^M00:44:28 >> Yes. ^M00:44:30 [ Applause ] ^M00:44:39 [ Dr. Ramon Tasat: Song, "Como La Rosa en la Guerta," in Ladino ] ^M00:47:48 [ Applause ] ^M00:48:04 [ Dr. Ramon Tasat and Flory Jagoda: Song, "Yo la Keriya" in Ladino ] ^M00:51:02 [ Applause ] ^M00:51:19 >> Susan Gaeta: Hello, I'm Susan Gaeta and I'm so happy to see everyone here tonight and I have studied with Flory for a long time, I think, along with Howard and Tina and we'd like to play one of our pieces called "Yo Hanino." It means I am handsome, tu hanina, you are beautiful, let's get married [laughter]. All right? It should be that simple and we'll have children like the luna and the sol, like the sun and the moon. ^M00:51:55 [ Singing in Ladino ] ^M00:54:39 [ Applause ] ^M00:54:54 [ Background Sounds ] ^M00:54:58 >> Flory Jagoda: The words of the song that they just sang is "I am handsome. You are beautiful. Let's get married!" That is the beauty of the song that is very cheerful and very pretty. Now from cheerful to not so cheerful, we go back to a little bit what I went through before coming to America. When I came to America, I actually brought a suitcase full of memories -- good memories, bad memories. The bad memories always is going back to Europe where I came from, where we had some tough times. In April 21, Germany -- the German soldiers marched through Zagreb where I lived. My father came home shaking. "We have to get out. We have to get out, get, get out." "Where are we going to go?" I was just a nice happy teenager studying harmonica [accordion], having a good time with my friends, going to the river swimming. "Don't ask," my father said, "Pack up and we are going. I have to leave Zagreb tomorrow. We're taking a train." "Daddy, where are we going? What shall I take with me?" I thought we were going on a trip. "You take nothing. You just take your harmonica." Because I was an accordionist as they would say here and every town, I mean, every house had a party, there was always, "Don't forget your harmonica." I'm always playing music and writing little songs way, way back. My father said, "Get on a plane." I mean, train, not plane -- train. Choo-choo [laughter]. Choo-choo train, I would tell my children here. "Just don't talk, [speaking in foreign language]." I wrote this little song after my little two days of tremendous pressure but I did go to that train the next day, taken by a friend that lived next door and with my non-Jewish names on a ticket, I got on a train. And my father said, "Just play your harmonica. Don't say a word." Well, I sat in the compartment. You know, a train have six people to a compartment or eight. Wartime, a lot of women with babushkas and chickens and soldiers. Very, very full place around me and I just sat, play my accordion, my harmonica. In Europe, you get to a compartment like this; if somebody starts singing, in these parts of the world, in Bosnia, they love to sing. They all started singing with me. It became a party. The conductor never even asked me for my ticket [laughter]. So he was -- he sat down and at once started singing and playing with us. I went as far as city of Split, called in the -- in Italian, they were called Spalato. I did arrive in Spalato and some friends were waiting for me. They saved my life. We were taken after that to island of Korcula and were interned there for two-and-a-half years and I wrote this little song. I'd like to share it with you. So my friends, my dear friends will accompany me. It's not so happy but it is successful. It is something I treasure and something I celebrate that my harmonica saved my life. ^E01:00:08 ^B01:00:11 I sing it in Bosnian ^M01:00:25 [ Singing in Bosnian ] ^M01:02:59 [ Applause ] ^M01:03:14 Well, I did reach Spalato and we have a beautiful song about Spalato, a beautiful city on Croatian coast. ^E01:03:26 ^B01:03:58 [ Song, "Spalato di Noche" in Ladino ] ^M01:07:42 [ Applause ] ^E01:07:56 ^B01:08:03 >> Flory Jagoda: I had a Nona that I will never forget. It was the best gift to me in my -- in my life. My Nona, well, she was very religious. I mean she spoke to us only in Ladino, Judeo-Spanish and she was a midwife too. She was a believer in song. If you were a sick, she would say, "Canta -- Sing. You will feel better. The song is a healer." I have written this little song about her and this is the only way you can keep a person, a song can keep you and entire together. She was a midwife, 12 o'clock, 1 o'clock, 2 o'clock in the morning, you would hear the door, [speaking in Ladino], "The little one is arriving, the little one is arriving." We didn't know if it was a boy or a girl, you know -- a long time ago. But everybody was expecting your chico. It had to be a boy because the boy -- the father would say, "[Speaking in Ladino], who is going to read the Torah? We have to have a boy." This was the thinking years ago. So, well -- I have a wonderful accompanist, Max Howard [laughter]. So he always makes songs pretty. ^M01:10:03 [ Speaking in Ladino ] ^M01:10:15 [ Music and Singing in Ladino ] ^M01:13:50 [ Applause ] ^M01:14:04 >> Flory Jagoda: Thank you. You see, I'm not getting up. >> Janet Dunkelberger: Our group is called Las Tiyas in honor of Flory's aunts and we are just a group of women who came to Flory and loved her music and wanted to learn her songs. Tomorrow marks five years since we took our first lesson with Flory, and we have sung every week since then. ^M01:14:36 [ Applause ] ^M01:14:45 >> Flory Jagoda: I have wonderful students. And six of them came to me one day, "Teach us." >> Janet Dunkelberger: We have been many tiyas. Tonight, we have Luna, Elena, Paloma, and myself [laughter]. >> Flory Jagoda: They call themselves "Laz Tiyas," The Aunts. >> Janet Dunkelberger: Our second song tonight is going to be about keeping the Sabbath, but before we can get to the Sabbath, we have to create the world. And our first song is the Creation of the World in Ladino. ^E01:15:22 ^B01:15:35 [ Music and Singing in Ladino ] ^M01:16:12 Janet Dunkelberger: Feel free to join us on the chorus. ^M01:16:13 [ Music and Singing in Ladino ] ^M01:17:42 [ Applause ] ^M01:17:58 Flory Jagoda: Is Aviva here? Howard Bass: Wait, there's another. ^M01:18:04 [ Song, "Ken Guarda el Shabat," in Ladino ] ^M01:19:49 [ Applause ] ^M01:20:02 >> Flory Jagoda: Isn't that wonderful? ^M01:20:05 [ Applause ] ^E01:20:10 ^B01:20:19 >> Flory Jagoda: Aviva [Chernik] is my next apprentice. The first apprentice was Susan [Gaeta], who worked with me for many, many years, today Susan gives concerts; she teaches. Definitely performs with me and I'm very, very proud of her. ^M01:20:44 [ Applause ] ^M01:20:51 This is my next one, Aviva. Aviva comes from Toronto. She flies down to a lesson. Which is -- ^M01:21:02 [ Applause ] ^M01:21:07 >> Aviva Chernik: When I'm really lucky. My boyfriend drives the 10 hours with me, so thank you, Carlos [laughter]. I just wanted to say that -- great, a loose stand -- I just want to say it's worth the 10 hours or more to drive to study and spend time with Flory, and I want to tell you that you've made my life that much richer. >> Flory Jagoda: You made my life wonderful, too. I love it. ^M01:21:37 [ Applause ] ^M01:21:42 >> Aviva Chernik: So, now some Torah. >> Flory Jagoda: She's a cantor, so expect now, something. >> Aviva Chernik: Okay, so I'm teaching. Get ready. So, this song is [speaking in Hebrew] from the binding of Isaac. In the beginning, we have Abraham preparing to sacrifice at God's bidding, his only child if you can imagine. >> Flory Jagoda: I can't imagine. >> Aviva Chernik: A son is Isaac. We don't hear anything from Isaac, he's totally silent the entire time. We don't know him until this moment when he finally speaks and he states, it seems like a question, but he states the obvious. "We have fire, we have wood. But where is the animal for sacrifice?" ^M01:22:42 [ Music and Singing in Ladino ] ^M01:25:12 [ Applause ] ^M01:25:33 >> Flory Jagoda: I do have songs in Bosnia language, in Serbian -- the former Yugoslavia -- because at home we spoke only Judeo-Espanol. But the moment you come to the steps of your house, the Nona would say, "Hable [speaking in Ladino]." She would not let you speak anything but Judeo Spanish. This is how we learned. But I also went to school, a local school, learned all the Bosnian folk songs and still sing them and add them to my programs. So, this one here is "Pticice," "Little Birds," and it says the little birds went south. Only one remained and that is the one made to sing to you. So, let's all sing "Pticice." Let's go. ^M01:26:53 [ Music and Singing in Bosnian ] ^M01:29:39 [ Applause ] ^M01:29:50 >> Flory Jagoda: Wow! And so you get some happy songs and then there's some songs that are not so happy, so let's skip to a song that is very emotional. It is a song about-- I'm going to war. I'm throwing two kisses. one kiss is mother, [speaking in Ladino]. The other [speaking in Ladino]. the one is for my mother and the other one is for you, Nina, little girl of my heart. You're singing with me? Who's singing with me? >> Tiffani Ferrantelli: Tiffani. >> Flory Jagoda: Oh, my. ^M01:30:38 [ Laughter ] ^M01:30:42 Tiffany is Italy -- Italian but we sing beautiful together. She gives me great harmony. Okay, let's go. Who's sing. Who's playing? Ah [laughter]. This is -- where are you from? Spain. We're a mixture of many things so that's why sometimes, you're amazing. You make good music together. Let's go. ^M01:31:21 [ Song, "Yo Parti Para la Gera," in Ladino ] ^M01:35:13 [ Applause ] ^E01:35:31 ^B01:35:38 >> Flory Jagoda: See they're moving, I'm not, I'm just sitting comfortable. This is a funny one, a young woman says to her man, [Speaking in Ladino] if I die, I don't want one cantankerous to carry my coffin, is it good to say coffin? I want twelve young men to carry it and to see what they missed, but that is funny isn't it? "Madre Miya se me Muero," "Mother of mine if I die." ^M01:36:32 [ Singing in Ladino ] ^M01:38:48 [ Applause ] ^M01:39:00 >> What is "Halva shekered ola?" We repeat and repeat. Halva is halva, you know, sweet stuff. It is a custom that at the end of life, I'd say, the family eats sweets. "Halva," you know that halva is sweet. "Sherkerd ola." Shekered is sugar, ola is nothing. [laughter] Ola it just rhymes. We need something to finish the third line. "Halva shekered ola." All right one more song. Should we do more song? That is on of the most popular songs in Bosnia, it was years ago and it still is today: ^M01:40:02 "Adiyo Kerida." You probably know it, sing it with us, "la la," whatever. The melody is very simple so let's go. ^M01:40:17 [ Music and singing in Ladino ] ^M01:43:06 [song pauses] >> Flory Jagoda: I just want to say something, many times you hear a song, you think you don't know the lyrics, learn it but just say "la la la." Do the la la, let's go. ^M01:43:22 [ Music and singing in Ladino ] ^M01:45:03 >> Flory Jagoda: Now who's going to sing next? They all sang, look at them. Let's do it again. ^M01:45:11 [ Song, "Ocho Kandelikas" in Ladino ] ^M01:45:44 [ Applause ] ^M01:46:22 >> Betty Jagoda Murphy: So I married 41 years ago. When I got married, my mother wrote [inaudible song title]. And we have been singing -- >> [music begins, Flory Jagoda sings "How good it is ---"] >> Betty Jagoda Murphy: [to Flory] No excuse me [laughter] -- sit back, sit back. [to the audience] So we will sing a line and you will repeat it. [to Flory] Mum, you will do nothing [laughter] Okay, we will see [inaudible]. Susan, Audrey, Tiffany come darlings. ^M01:47:16 >> Betty Jagoda: You will repeat what we sing. >> [ call and response song led by Betty Jagoda Murphy ] Oh, Flory, dear, congratulations, On your 90th year and celebration. So let's clap our hands and let's be merry, swing and sway on this wonderful day. La, la, la, etc. >> Flory Jagoda: Can I do a -- >> Betty Jagoda Murphey: No, not yet. ^M01:48:19 [ Laughter ] ^M01:48:23 >> Flory Jagoda: I wrote this. >> Betty Jagoda Murphy: Not this one -- ^E01:48:24 ^B01:48:32 [ Betty continues to lead the song ] You're mishpaha You're Nona Flory For Ladino songs And Sephardic stories Your tradition thrives So let's be merry and swing and sway on this wonderful day. La, la, la, la, etc. >> Not yet, not yet [song continues] How good it is To have good friends Play music and sing and enjoy a dance So let's clap our hands to honor Flory let's swing and sway on this wonderful day la, la, la la, etc. [ Applause ] ^M01:51:35 >> This has been a presentation of the Library of Congress.
