We all have to die... But if the rich could get the poor to die for them we would all be rich.

🎵 If I were a rich man
Ya ba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dum
All day long, I'd biddy biddy bum
If I were a wealthy man
I wouldn't have to work hard
Ya ba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dum
If I were a biddy biddy rich yidle-diddle-didle-didle man 🎵

I dunno, I had been thinking about Fiddler on the Roof lately. So, I decided to do my best Tevye impression and dance while singing "If I Were a Rich Man" in a barn.

What?

@jnl
Got a friend whose mentioned stetls.

Their dismissiveness of those who could have left but didn't was pretty intense.

I think I can see why leaving a stetl in time would have been so very hard, what with them being villagers, living in their village, the village of their family and the scene of their personal history. Excepting for adventurous young adults I could understand very few leaving.

(I've had a somewhat itinerant life - this probably colours my viewpoint.)

My late a-tsik (uncle) was a big fan of #fiddlerontheroof and I spent a lot of my childhood with him, and I think we watched the VHS tape together many many time. I think the reason he liked (and so do I ) is that the story shows the common issue traditional family face are strikingly similar across culture. Instead of the more famous songs from the musical I liked this one more

Today's Thursday Five List has a theme of "The Time." @neurothing wants us to look at songs about time or with time in the title.

Let's go.

📖 Tevye the Dairyman & Motl the Cantor's Son 📚

As a big fan of Fiddler on the Roof, I decided I should read the original Tevye stories. First published in 1894, Tevye 'tells' Aleichem the tales of his family, focusing on six of his seven daughters, Tzeitel, Chava, Hodel, Shprintze, Taybele, and Bielke. I was surprised by how different these tales proved to be from musical.
But the highlight here is the delightful adventures of the 'orphan' Motl in Aleichem's unfinished novel Motl and the Cantor's Son. These tales take us on the journey from poverty in the Shtetl, across Europe to the promise land of America. Motls' take on life is endearing and funny. I am amazed that these stories have never made it to film!

And a green rooster.

"If I Were a Rich Man" is a #song in the 1964 #musical #FiddlerOnTheRoof, written by #SheldonHarnick and #JerryBock. It is sung by the titular fiddler, #Tevye, and reflects his aspirations. Its title was inspired by a 1902 monologue by #SholemAleichem in #Yiddish, Ven ikh bin Rothschild (Yiddish: װען איך בין ראָטשילד; lit. “If I were a Rothschild”), a reference to the wealth of the #RothschildFamily, although the content is different.
