Ah, i before e and all of that... I can't manage those words in English, much less any other language!

Tochter Zion is actually a pretty neat song. I'd never heard it before I picked up this CD.

I'm at the point now that I buy Christmas music if it names a song I don't already have -- and considering that my list of song names runs to 6plus pages in the tiniest type on the computer (although there are many repeats. O Tannenbaum and Oh Tannenbaum, for example) this can be tricky. I recently picked up a "Christmas from Around the World" CD with two songs from Transylvania. "Maria, Maria" and "Kis Jezus Koszonto". It has 3 from Germany (just so I don't thread drift too much) -- "Still Still Still", "Kling, Glockchen Klingelingeling" (fast becoming a favorite!) and another rendition of "Suesser Die Glocken Nie Klingen."

(And for some reason it includes "The Little Skillet Pot" from Ireland. Good song, but is it really a Christmas song?)
