Reb Michoel got to his feet to announce the next performer. Shmiel Ber Webber is warmly accepted by the crowd. Shmiel Ber approached the stage wearing a captain's hat and a guitar. He proceeded to play Yehi Rotzon from Lipa's Baderech album. When the song finished the crowd started chanting, "Webber, Webber..." Then Shmiel Ber launched into his next song, Ad Heina (Fried). Now, I have to say that this is a major Fried song that not many could pull off singing let alone playing it. He did both spectacularly! The chevrah was finishing every verse with him. They were so entranced and into the song. Singing and clapping, Reb Yankel, Yeedle, and everyone were harmonizing. For his last song of the evening he chose Yisroel Betach B'Hashem (Carlebach). After the first word EVERYONE was either humming or just outright singing. The applause at the end of his set was thunderous.
he's not even playing the correct chords. Not even close! there are sometimes that he just can find the right chord.
Berry, your voice is great, better brush up on guitar before going live next time :)
