Thanks so much, Steve.
I have very little exposure to Klezmer music, but it is quite seductive. I was finally hooked last year about this time when National Public Radio broadcast a program of people's spoken memories of Chanukkah's past. Interleaved between stories was the most beautiful soulful music. The clarinetist and the music were, alas, uncredited.
My teacher, in addition to her vast classical performance experience, plays Klezmer music now and then (the usual - "weddings and bar mitzvahs"). I finally pried a copy of "Mayn shtetl Yas" out our her well-guarded stash of music. Of course, I'm lousy at playing it, but, hey, you gotta start somewhere.
