Oyfn Pripetchik - 5 String Klezmer Swing

"Oyfn Pripetshik," translated to "On The Hearth," was composed in the late 1800s by the Yiddish poet and songwriter Mark Warshawski. It's a song that I personally listened to when going to sleep as a child for many years.
The lyrics tell of a rabbi teaching his young students the aleph-bet (the hebrew alphabet), and it became one of the most popular songs of the Jews of Central and Eastern Europe.

After reading the description I wonder if you want to take a nap after the performance, just for old times sake.....bad jokes aside, I wonder if you could add a vocalist to sing the lyrics , for reasons unknown I like to listen to music in a language that I don't understand.

Haha absolutely, the Yiddish lyrics are fantastic with this :)
