We were thoroughly entertained recently as, along with Rabbi Danny, our very own St. Anne’s singer/songwriter/producer, Michael Frankel, played a series of American, Yiddish and Hebrew songs.
A whole batch of new fans enjoyed the show and enquired about the original song Michael sang – The Blues Didn’t Come From Heaven.
Michael and Friends give their rendition below and here’s what Michael has to say :
“Thank you so much to everyone who joined the Zoom concert featuring me and Rabbi Danny on Sunday 21st June. It was the first time I’d ever done anything live via Zoom so I was delighted that the technology worked well and that everyone enjoyed the music.
A few people mentioned my song, “The Blues Didn’t Come From Heaven”. Thank you!Here’s a version I recorded some years ago. I hope you like it.
Looking forward to playing some music live some day soon.Mike Frankel”
Here is a YouTube clip of me playing the song live with some friends at Chorlton Folk Club :
