A note from Alan Kaufman regarding his recording: "This song came about after having a dream in which I was davening in the heart of Cajun country in Lafayette, Louisiana and it was Shabbos and the Torah was taken out of the Aron Hakodesh, and there was spirited Cajun dancing and singing. I woke up and used Audacity on my computer to simulate my dream. I am playing both fiddles and mando and singing on this recording. My email is [email protected]." | |
