That's Itzchak Perlman in the beg of the clip!

His mannerisms are perfect. I especially love the "Eh-helloooo!"

Świetne!

And how Obnoxious are you, MrGrevy? By the way, what does your "Mr" stand for -- "Mamzer"?

Fyvush Finkel contributes to human happiness; apparently MrGrevy has very little happiness of his own. Otherwise he wouldn't need to parade his bigotry and ignorance on Youtube. I'd advise him to see a shrink but my guess is he's a hopeless case. Anyway, a Jew (Freud) invented shrinking- and no doubt MrGrevy has a problem with that.

@178music SURE you did!

Fyvush's performance is at the Baruch Performing Arts Center at Baruch College.

I just saw Fyvush Finkel Live at the Folksbiene in New York. Still amazing at 88 ..
Does anyone get how extraordinary this is? Finkel is one of the few remaining representatives of a great and wonderfully irreverent musical and theatrical tradition, and he brings it alive in this short clip. Adamwas should know already that the Yiddish version is different--and untranslatable--but the song speaks precisely to the conditions of immigrant life at a time when Yiddish Theaters lined Second Avenue.
