A.R. Katz, nice to hear from you to corroborate Al's story about writing the lyrics. Something should be done to give credit where it is due! And nice to remember Al whom I was just thinking about today at a little holiday jam we had. He came to one at our house many years ago and in the midst of all the carols he did a little song about a dreidel, complete with fiddle and twinkle in his merry eyes.
