Kenneth,
Your comments obviously say it all. So why should you care how
good WE think
Feidman is. He plays great and you love his playing that should be enough
for anyone. He is obviously a gifted musician. In terms of the Klezmer
style, there are few players in the world who can match him and probably
noone who is demonstrably better.
