HaZamir Gala Concert 2020

Diamond 2020

It was in lovely Kerhonkson, our own Brigadoon

One summer evening under a silver moon,

Looking for hot dogs I began to meander

And then I ran into Danny Freelander.

I knew right away he was one of a kind
Especially when a hot dog he did help me find.

In short, let me say he's a gift from the Lord

So deserving of the Kinor David award!
