Hmm...a great klezmer?  I've never heard that term applied to a person, and
although it usually refers to a particular style of music ("klezmer music," or
sometimes just "klezmer"), the name comes from the Hebrew "k'li zemer," or
simply "musical instrument" (k'li = instrument or tool, zemer = of song).
You've just called your friend a musical instrument!
