Ah, I was wondering what klezmer music was (after coming across the term on
sneezy.org). After a search on google... yes, I've been playing klezmer
music for years without knowing it.

the best (in my opinion) klezmer scale is the freygish, most commonly
found in D (concert):

D, Eb, F#, G, A, Bb, C, D

all the half-step intervals give it such an incredible sound.

play with that one for a while. :-)
