That's ok Nick...don't feel dumb...

Klezmer is a type of music generally seen as "Jewish" music. The word "Klezmer" actually means both the type of music and the musician in Yiddish. It's secular Jewish music (I believe) typically from Ashkenaz Jews (i.e. Eastern European).

Listen to recordings by Dave Tarras, Naftule Brandwein, and (yes even him) Giora Feidman. They'll give you a great idea of what older Klezmer clarinet sounds like. For more contemporary stuff, go for the Klezmatics. Oooooh I love them!

p.s. Mark when you say "linked to from other places," do you mean that someone else has to have a website to help you out with this? I might have the time to read the posts, etc., but I don't have any real web presence at all... (and I really don't know anything about html...LOL!)
