RE: der rebe elimelech

[Lorin Sklamberg <lsklamberg...>]

Hi, all

Makht oyf appears on the Klezmatics' most recent cd, Rise Up! Shteyt oyf!

I'm partial to (and perform) the version of Hop mayne homentashn as sung by 
Sarah Gorby, which has a completely different tune - and she liked enough to 
record it twice!

BTW, I finally got a copy of Lori's Gelbart cd. Aside from the repertoire and 
arrangements (really nice), Lori sounds great!
