From the Appleton Improvisation Underground Comes HOUDINI, an All Genre Rock Opera Biography about the World's Favorite Escape Artist

My father Rabbi Weiss

stood before the minion

his sarcastic glances glimmering

his confusing humor shimmering

he liked to laugh at pain

My father, Rabbi Weiss

stood before the minion

as they told him to move on

his German was too old fashioned

my father Rabbi Weiss

stood upon the bema

weeping under the vaulted ceilings

of that cold cold Temple Zion

goodbye Temple Zion

goodbye Appleton

goodbye Mr. Hanauer

it’s time for Rabbi Weiss to move on.

tad neuhaus: ukulele, organ guitar, steel drum
