For those who have never liked or known about Eastern
European folk music...

I searched in YouTube for Balkan Clarinet. I found
many samples of this fellow, Serkan Cagri. I haven't
talked to more knowledgeble people, but he sounds like
a real expert. Here is slow piece; I think his
playing and the woman's singing is beautiful. There
are many other pieces by him and others in different
moods in this area of YouTube.

I know that most of you probably appreciate this
tradition, but some may not have ever heard it. I did
a lot of 'Folk' dancing when I was in college in the
1970's. Balkan was my favorite style.
