He has just had to semi-retire his banjo due to osteoathritis and i am just behind him with the same complaint. I thought i would re-submit this as a memory to a great and dear friend with his amazing electric banjo. Always keep your soundfiles, they become precious memories and no mistake. Good luck to you Boog, and thanks for this ........Joe. The Boog and myself cut this track a good while ago now.

It is a song of celebration, especially popular amongst Jewish and Romani communities, and is a staple of band performers at Jewish festivals. The melody was taken from a Ukrainian folk song from Bukovina. Hava Nagila is often played to accompany the horah, a type of circle dance originating in the Balkans but also found in other countries. It became a national dance in Israel, having been brought to Israel by the Romanian settlers in the second half of the 19th century. In the early days, Horah was popular mainly in the Kibbutzim and small communities. Later it became a must in group dances throughout Israel, and at weddings and other celebrations by Jews in Israel, the United States and Canada. The dance appeared in North America in the early 20th century, well before modern Israeli independence, brought directly from Eastern Europe by Jewish immigrants. At bar and bat mitzvahs, it is custom to raise the honoree and his or her family members on a chair during the horah. This is also done nowadays at many Jewish weddings, following the Israeli tradition. To start the dance, everybody forms a circle, holding hands, and steps forward toward the right with the left foot, then follows with the right foot. The left foot is then brought back, followed by the right foot. This is done while holding hands and circling together in a fast and cheerful motion to the right. Large groups allow for the creation of several concentric circles. Gold Tone 5-string Cello Banjo tuned gCGCD Hava Nagila הבה נגילה is a Hebrew folk song, the title meaning "let us rejoice".

It was a bit daunting for me, but fun nonetheless. My banjo playing isn&#39t the best, but it turned out well given how much practice time we had. Here&#39s the first song we did.
