Mandolin Mondays Featuring Alan Epstein /// 'Shalom Aleichem'

Mandolin Mondays #66: This week we have Alan Epstein playing a graceful rendition of this bittersweet traditional Jewish melody on his Collings MT 1 mando.

Here's Alan with a few words about the video, "The tune I'm playing is Shalom Aleichem a beautiful, traditional Jewish melody that I included on my recent CD project. I learned the tune from one of the David Grisman and Andy Statman CD's that was released many years ago on Acoustic Disc. If you like the sound of this melody, I would suggest you dig into those two Grisman/Statman recordings as well as The Book of the Dawg - Dawg Roots which includes a transcription of this melody."

This melody is not traditional per se - but was composed by an American Rabbi, Israel Goldfarb, on May 10, 1918. Shalom Aleichem was first published by Rabbi Goldfarb in the hymnal Friday Evening Melodies later that year, which was copywrited and recorded at the Library of Congress.

Lovely rendition of this! Anyone know if there are tabs online?
