My wife and I disagree over how to sing Shmuel Brazil's "Shalom Aleichem" as
a wordless nigun.  She opts for Sam's version.  I much prefer to sing it as
a "ya-da-dai-dai-dai-ya-da-dai-dai-dai-dai" nigun.  What do others think --
of this tune or in general?  Is there a standard practice for singing
nigunim among different Hassidic groups?  For nigunim of different moods or
tempos?
