I'm not a man. I'm not old. Bob Dylan needs a little dilution now and then. He has had some stages of pure creepiness. How come you use YouTube to send out insults? Have you run out of people locally?

Some folks are anti-intellectual, because they don't like to think. They prefer to be entertained or to emote. Fine. Emote away. But why snub your nose at the rest of us who find that articulating things about classical music (or jazz or pop music) makes for a deeper, more interesting experience....

Captain and Tenille covered this song. Neil performed this last night in St. Louis. He's still got it.

I just saw Neil last night when he was a guest of the St. Louis Jewish Book Festival. Relax. He is in the songwriting hall of fame.

Thanks 4 having a sense of humor. : - )

Excellent. But did you manually synchronize three videos?

Gracias. I'll look it up in Map Quest. I live in St. Louis now, but I graduated from Freehold Regional High School, class of '66. And the Boos ,same school in '67.

Funny story about LSMB: They were in St. Louis, 2004? 2005? I was late in getting tickets, so three of us ended up in the very front row. I was past my 50th b-day, but Main Guy kept giving me the eye. Then he was inviting women up on stage to learn moves. Main Guy was about to give me the call, a...

And who was this Dominique of whom she was singing? Dominique Guzman, a monk who founded the Dominican order in southern France during the 13th century to rout out heretics. He was the leading edge of the Catholic Inquisition. The Dominicans were very successful at totally eliminating the Cathars...

Great music. Greetings from Uranus.

Andy Statman, on clarinet or mandolin, also a mitseeyeh.

I am about to turn 64 and am one of a handful of Americans in my generation who speak a fairly fluent Yiddish, because (1) My parents did—they were Polish Jews who survived the Holocaust & (2) the parents or one of the parents dedicated themselves to bilingual kids. Most Jewish American immigrant...

The concept of comparing the lover to things in the natural world is like Song of Songs. The actual words will not be found in Song of Songs.

Thanks, I was making a playlist, click, click, click and I did not scroll down far enough. Thanks for good selections.

The participants in the Warsaw Ghetto Resistance were largely young people without ties. Of course, they were nearly starving and their weaponry was limited as compared to what members of the German army was equipped with. They hid underground and the Germans systematically went from block to blo...

Levuneh is one of those Yiddish words that came from Hebrew.

Ashkenaz was ancient Hebrew word for Germany. The Ashkenazim were the Jews who first settled in the Rhineland. According to foremost scholar of Yiddish, Uriel Weinrich, Yiddish and Modern German both offshoots of Middle German. All over Europe, Jews spoke Yiddish, which points to pattern of migra...

interesting at beginning: clarinet mimics the sound of the shofar.

My dad who was born 1909 in Kolo, Poland used to sing this around the house—post-Holocaust, after we emigrated to the States. (My dad died in 1959.)

shpielt!

so silly: these ongoing arguments about who is better. just enjoy the special talents of each virtuoso. make yourself a YouTube playlist of Perlman, Bell, Janine Janssen, etc. then set the playlist to "play all" and "shuffle." Close your eyes. Let me know if you can distinguish between all the pl...

yes. after all it is not a meditation, it is a dance.

sloppy white tips.

Proof positive that anyone with or without intellect or grace or the power of clear speech can put up a video on YouTube.
