So I have written another book and like the last one I have strived to be different. For starters I would like to introduce the book not with prose but with these lines.


Rock’n Roll
Cuban Cigar
Abba Adina
Sharak Alon
Whistling tree
Can’t you see?
Happy People
Definitely

[repeat once]

Hum them to music that you can make up in your head as you go about your daily life. For those who just can't hum or whistle I will reveal what I think this would sound like shortly. Stay tuned & happy humming.

In my last post I posted a song. Have you attempted to hum it or perhaps whistle the tune. Are you wondering who is this Abba and Adina? Is Abba the pop band from Sweden that had several worldwide hit songs including 'Dancing Queen', 'Fernando' and 'Mamma Mia!'? And what is Sharak Alon?

Well they are all characters in my book. Abba means dad in Yiddish. Adina is a biblical figure and the meaning of the name is delicate/gentle. Sharak in Hebrew is whisle and Alon is tree so Sharak Alon is the whistling tree and also a character in the book. Now that you are feeling a bit educated here are the lyrics again and some additional lyrics of another song

Another song

O what a wonderful land
The land that is Munkacland
The land with the whistling tree
The land where everybody is happy
And free
