Klezmer Music - My new obsession
Posted:Apr 26, 2024 4:43 pm
Last Updated:Apr 26, 2024 6:20 pm

I admit to not knowing a lot about the history of and influences on klezmer music. Indeed, I have always and only associated it with music of the Jews in central and eastern Europe. But I have always enjoyed listening to it and am grateful for groups such as the Klezmer Conservatory Band and artists such as Itzhak Perlman for playing and promoting klezmer.

I mention this because the last time I was at the music store where I have my instruments tended to, one of the staff enthusiastically recommended a book of easy klezmer tunes for the violin. I bought it and have been playing the tunes ever since. When I get adventurous, I see if I can play them also on the viola. It is nice to discover something new as we age - and this is a discovery that I am more than a little grateful for.

I noticed recently a stunning uptick in the number of views of my blog. At first I thought - cool, people are looking at what I have written - and then the skeptic in me thought/wondered - are these views generated by bots crawling the site?

There is an interesting story in progress at the discussion board at NNFU's Fantasy Writing Room. It would be a fun thought experiment to see how two women or a man and woman would build the story given the same opening line. (Yes, that is an invitation to do so.)

4/19/24 - Story is over.

Two significant events on April 14 - Lincoln was shot and the Titanic hit an iceberg.
Two significant events on April 15 - Lincoln died and the Titanic sank

A third significant event for April 15 - Jackie Robinson played his first major league baseball game, breaking the color barrier (and what a euphemism that is).
