No, I want to learn to create wacky klezmer. I meant exactly what I =
said. There is a certain style to Shirim's stuff that I love, and if I =
could spend a day rehearsing with them I would experience nirvana. I =
can pick them out anywhere.

A hoot it is, but I wouldn't choose that for learning the style anymore
than I'd use it to learn the Nutcracker. The stuff that Kenneth listed -
Brandwein and Tarras in particular - are what you want to learn from...
