  • You are truly on your own planet...which is awesome!!!!!!!!

  • @TuLithu Yeeeeeeee ha! I just wish I could find me some darn' Moonshine that's KOSHER, boy! ;o)

  • Hello! I am a banjo player and want to learn some klezmer tunes so I can play with my sister, an accordionist! Do you know of any good books or CD compilations? Also, how do you tune your banjo? Is it open G like bluegrass?

    thanks!

    beautiful tunes!

  • Hi!The banjo is tuned to standard open G tuning, to give the intervals of the "Ahava Raba" mode of Klezmer(GAbBCDEbFG).For the ancient Jewish "Misheberakh" mode,(GABbC#DEFG)as heard in "Chusen Kala Mazel Tov" or in "Odessa Bulgar" just tune the 3rd string B down to a Bb to give open G minor tuning. The ONLY other Klezmer banjo player I know of,is Henry Sapoznik, although I think he plays tenor banjo. Maybe this could spark the beginning of a whole new genre..."HILLEL BILLY MUSIC", maybe???;o)

  • you are funny...but nothing willtop your  'heavy schtetl' music...!

  • Sounds intriguing but doesn't quite work. Still have to hear the Klezmer clawhammer. BTW, is there any instrument, ancient or modern, you don't play?

  • this made my night

  • Not fan of judaeo-christian labels on anything. (not a fan of book based religions), you're really good! I appreciate your music and wish you good fortune in all that you pursue.

  • Jew-grass? Genius. Just genius. :)

  • I can see the fiddler on the roof playing Orange Blossom Special!
