Re: A bedeken question

Yeah, it's interesting that you say that. when I first started playing at
Jewish weddings in the early eighties, one of the differences between a
Litvish, Yeshiva, YU, or chasidish wedding would be the badekin. At the
first three, Od Yishama was almost universally played. At Satmar weddings,
Vay'hi B'yishurun Melech was played, (usually they didn't wait for us to
get there, they would just start), and at L:ubavitch weddings, the Alter
Rebbe's Nign was played. I do not doubt Sam's recollection of Napoleon's
March, but by the time I was playing at Lubavitch weddings, they were no
longer doing that. Nowadays, if I play a chasidish wedding at all (since
the advent of one man bands), they sing Od Yishama, or some slow Nign like
the Bobover wedding march. Yeshiva Shor Yoshuv, ( a Yeshiva in Far
Rockaway with a large student population) has the custom of singing Odom
Harishon's nign on the way in and Keyli Atah on the way out.
