An israeli soldier had written the song shar melshe so i learned it, and was damn good tune. General rabin, who was then chief of staff, he was there i played and the audience went mad. They made me play it six timesand i then said, my friends, i haven't got the vocabulary to describe the emotional experience at this moment. Now, isn't that a great story? Of course, it's not true. It's an opera story. It's the tenor singing paliace. However, twisting that opera story around makes it a much better story, i agree.
