RE: Day 626: 5 Minute Freewrite: Monday - Prompt: the sexy tango

I'm still writing about @deeanndmathews. My sexy tango knowledge is nil.

I think you really need help @mariannewest. I am "encouraging" over 20 people from the mangy cat prompt right now and let me tell you, I m not even an animal lover and this is not easy to read all these gross and sad stories. But if we have this many people on a long weekend Sunday, somehow we can improve things.

We would not have so many people without the encourager idea. So what can we think of next to now spread the workload?

And with you moving plants all weekend, I do not know how you are back to it already. Just go walk 15K steps and get back to us, lol.

        LOL - at least today's prompt wasn't Yiddish tango. Break my heart!

        It is said that composer Friedrich Schwarz (1895–1933) wrote this last melody when having to flee to France from the National Socialists, naming it in a letter from 23 July 1933 as a "Jüdischer Tango." Some of the other musicians who recorded this were subsequently killed in concentration camps. The text to the song reads in part, "Ich hab kein Heimatland. / Ich habe nichts auf dieser Welt. / Ich zieh von Land zu Land / Und bleibe da, wo’s mir gefällt." In translation, "I have no home land / I have none on this earth. / I roam from land to land / and remain there, were I can." Schwartz' work was recorded by Marek Weber and his Orchestra in 1933, the same year in which Weber found his way to the United States, where he became a well known band leader, the "Waltz King of Radio."

        I have played this song over and over and over again, thinking empaths shouldn't do these things....

              I never wallow in self pity for long, not when music like this exists, with stories like these:

              Herman Yablokoff (Der Poyatz) was a luminary in the Yiddish theatre, and the author
              of this haunting, depressing melody. It was the story of a tortured little boy in Europe
              who had to sell cigarettes (individually) from a basket on the streets, to help his
              impoverished family keep body and soul together. His father lost both hands in the
              war; his mother had gone mad from the unalloyed misery of their lives; and his sickly
              little sister (the only friend he had, and who used to help him sell the cigarettes) died
              on a park bench, presumably of accompanying starvation. The little boy (who was
              subjected to beatings by the police, and felt that he, too, would die like a dog) wailed
              to Heaven that "why doesn't death claim me also?" I may safely say that this is one of the most sorrowful, harrowing songs of all time -made only more so by the fact that there were so many poor children who were thrust
              into lives of utter despair by the vicissitudes of cruel Fate...
