Wow - "Largo al factotum" in Yiddish! Cool! :)

It dates back to the 1920s. The Yiddish lyrics are about a matchmaker, not a barber: https://youtu.be/cVyYreVKkpY?si=tcOFcE2nTlPX16Wc

I haven’t found them yet! This is definitely my repertoire though.

If I had a patron I would likely just commission new ones. I did this with the TikTok sea shanty sensation, the Wellerman: https://youtu.be/87lGz4MOqOc?si=a8MvbQhWW_Y9QG0w

Being blissfully TikTok-unaware, I am not familiar with this song, but your version rocks! :) And wait - you have a YouTube? How did I not know this? I'm going to browse on it now.

Take care, Matt!
