@Bermaetel And also, my mother born 1924 in Klodowa, Poland (a bit north and west of Lodz). The Jews were less inclined to own land and be farmers. More typically they were tradesman and lived in the center of town where they built their synagogue(s), ritual bath houses, houses of study, etc. My mom died in 2007, but not long before she died, she remembered that on Saturday evenings after the Sabbath, itinerant /"gypsy" musicians hung around on street corners playing for change.

@Bermaetel A couple of years ago, I was infatuated with a clarinet player who had been well-trained in the classical repertoire and much later began to play klezmer. He said original Jewish Klezmer borrowed from all sorts of contacts, including gypsies, the Balkans and the Turks. He said: original klezmer had different modes or scales, more Eastern. Eastern influences lost when imported to US, pre-war and post-war.
