Happy Nigun (earlier recording than Giora ?) and Kammen

[Ernie Gruner <erniegru...>]

Michel and anyone interested,
thanks to a tip I've just found that " Happy Nigun "  pops up earlier on
sheet music in the fiddle key of Dm in :
"Kammen international dance and concert folio #9"
In the book it is titled #12 Bulgar (Frailach).Other "famous international
songs" in the book include Come Back to Sorrento, Beer Garden Memories, and
the Internationale.
Folio #1 has more klezmer repertoire.

Does anyone know what happened to Kammen Folios 2 - 8 ?

Has anyone heard an early recording of this tune ie from the early American
or European LPs ?

   cheers Ernie

The tune played was "Happy Nigun" as played/transcribed by Giora Fiedman.
Does anyone know the source of this tune? did Giora write it ?

AFAIK, The happy nigun is a traditional freylekh tune played by Giora
Feidman and other klezmorim, including... me!
