The same tune is also in The Kammen Folio #1, No. 10  Frailach
subtitled Itzikil.

BTW The tune (as Frailachs Nr.9) is on page 90 of the "New Kostakowsky"
aka - The Ultimate Klezmer - [formerly page 94 of the old version]
This is only one of the too many ommissions/ mistakes in the new edition,
and as far as I know not to blame on Joshua Horowitz, but the publisher.

For those who are interested in harmonizing and chordal approach of klezmer
tunes, it is usefull to compare these two versions.
