It’s an old Yiddish saying, I’m told. Here’s another favorite fiddle tune, Flatbush Waltz — written by Andy Statman. The mandolin soloist is Statman, himself. The fiddle player is Itzhak Perlman. I liked this tune so much when I first discovered it that I wrote a poem about it. My poem is here. If you’re interested in some background, you might want to watch Perlman’s EMI video entitled In the Fiddler’s House. Everyone knows Itzhak Perlman, I think.
