I don't have a personal relationship with Yale Strom, but given your fury, Rubinchik, maybe you do? Please enlighten all of us here who - except for you - actually appreciate Yale's work. Of course, it's a free country and to many, there are greater villains, but as you seem to think he's single-handedly destroying klezmer, Yiddish culture and the globe, please tell us: Where can we get your books, films and CD's? Quick, hurry before more people think highly of his work!

Just caught this band live recently and I agree - this vid does NOT do them justice. But these comments are a hoot! Yale's still the man and the singer is a beeeeeeeyyyyyyyb!

nope, is ashkenazic music, originated in Moldavia, a romanian province splited by russians and austrians in Bukovina and Bessarabia. Jews from Galitsia and Moldavia had a mixture of the idish folklore with romanian (moldavian), and - in a lesser proportion - ukrainian folklore. Sirba, doina and others jewish themes are originated in romanian folklore. But the jewish awesome contribution is about the rithm (faster) and instrumentation (richer)

zzzz... oh, honey, I had the oddest dream last night... two old sad fat dudes were sitting in their underwear at their keyboards... banging away... policing utoob... making sure nobody disagreed with them... wouldn't let the rest of us decide who to show props to... so there they were, shooting away at whoever scared them... cuz we only hate what we fear...then they started to go after the rest of us if we disagreed with them... course, they were too busy policing, they didn't have time...

OK, we'll make sure to tell Mark O'Connor, who obviously has no ears! You dudes are waaaay too funny!

Rubinchik is right. This is a sorry excuse for Jewish music. Strom is not taken seriously anywhere in the Yiddish music world. Ever seen his name as a teacher at KlezKamp, KlezKanada or any other real Yiddish music event? Only among shmeerers is he a paintner.

This message brought to you by the offices of Yale Strom Incorporated, proudly to dumbing down Yiddish culture for the goyim and self loathers since 1984!

I studied violin with Yale at Mark O'Connor's Fiddle Camp and he's the only klezmer I've seen there in 5 years...I have Yale's recordings, I have his books, and I've seen his films... and I'll be back this summer just for Yale. HE IS A GENIUS. Rubinchik, you don't know squat about his work - or klezmer - but you seem to be on the warpath. TAKE A PILL, get a life and educate yourself.
