I knew Moishe back when he played in retirement homes as well as doing children's shows, always doing a mitzvah for Friday night services, and even sometimes used his guitar neck for a yad.

Eugene Levy and Moishe once teamed up to do comedy bits. They called themselves Back To Back With Eugene And Mack (Mack was Moishe's alter stage name), as Moishe would sit on Eugene's shoulders while Moishe would play his guitar behind his own back. It was a funny bit which Moishe would later develop as a schtick for his later Jimi Hendrix persona.

It was an unfortunate abrupt ending to Moishe's life when he overdosed on chicken soup. Moishe once said that his Yiddisha mama's chicken soup was "to die for", but, as he said on his deathbed, he didn't mean it literally
