  Interesting, this video mentions a Yiddish song "Shvayg, mayn harts" ("Hush, my heart") that it seems to have been inspired by. And on a video of that song https://youtu.be/uT7GcjBnWaw https://youtu.be/uT7GcjBnWaw is this info > ("Shvayg mayn harts") was in the 1935 Yiddish theater show Papirosn. Years later eden ahbez paid Yablokoff $25,000 out of court to settle a plagiarism complaint. Listen to the chorus and see if you think it was stolen. Some say they were both stolen from Antonin Dvorak’s 1887 “Piano Quintet No. 2” - which may have been stolen from Czechoslovakian folk music. Here's a Dvorak comparison https://m.facebook.com/MastersonHomeConcerts/videos/dumka-and-nature-boy/463696484849508/ https://m.facebook.com/MastersonHomeConcerts/videos/dumka-an... Also noteworthy is the fact that eden ahbez preferred to spell his name as all lowercase.
