My favorite is "Uva"; My klezmer band, Klezmania, New Orleans' first
klezmer group, backed up the late Rabbi about 8 years ago. He left his guitar in
Israel, had to borrow mine, was supposed to send music and never did,
was supposed to rehearse 2 hours before the show. He arrived an hour
late- we had to start playing our stuff to fill in, and when he did
arrive, this was our rehearsal- Carbach " Ok, let's play. Be free
 and deep."
He capo'd at the 3rd fret and we played 2 hours of tunes in C!
And he was wonderful!
