Henry-  Thanks for setting me straight on "Baym Rebn in Palestina". Your
answer also explains why you don't credit Kramtweiss for composing the tune
(as opposed to playing it) in your  collection "The Compleat Klezmer". I
had gotten the impression that he had written the tune because a recording
of the Budapester Klezmer Band had said as much. But I suspect the origin
of the tune may not be so clear.
