 You're listening to KDRT 95.7 in Davis, California. We're having a day of special live music throughout the whole day and part of tomorrow to help us with fundraising to raise the antenna. And we are lucky enough to end the day of this special programming with the Davis Klezmer Orchestra. And Elaine is going to be the spokesperson, and you're going to answer my first question. What does Klezmer mean? Well Klezmer really means a kind of music. It's Eastern European party music, actually. And it comes from the Hebrew, klezmer. Kle means instrument, sort of like instrument like a fork or a spoon, but also instrument. Instrument of song, Zemmer is song. So that's why when I, when you were practicing, I heard a little bit of Zorb of the Greek and everything. Oh yeah. Definitely. There's Greek. You know, Jews have been on the road for 5,000 years. So wherever we were, we absorbed, you know, we absorbed music from all kinds of cultures and actually played with lots of, lots of musicians from different cultures as well. Well, we're going to ask you, we'll introduce the band a little later and I'll talk a little bit more about our fundraising. But we're going to ask you to start off with a couple of songs. Which ones did you pick? Oh, well, you know, the interesting thing about Klezmer is that it is a, you know, it's an oral tradition. So a lot of songs are actually known just by the first part of the song and don't necessarily have a particular name. So the first one is, ah, ah, ah, ah. I like it. Alrighty. We're going to ask you guys to play some more. But before we do that, I'd like to ask Elaine to introduce the band. Oh, sure. I'd love to. Well, easiest is for me on my right to say, on clarinet is Mark Epstein, on drums, percussion is Nick Carvajal. It's like, oh. And right behind me, from Winters, so I hope it's going to stretch to Winters on the bass is Keith Carey. Wow. And you guys, well, there are some familiar names here, together you put out quite a sound of music. I love it. Thank you. So thank you for doing that. Can we ask you to play a couple of more songs? We'd love to. Alrighty. And before we do that, if people want to know more about you, where can they go? Oh, interesting. Where can they go? Yeah, come to the farmers market. Occasionally. I meant online. Yes, online. You have no online. You have no online. You know, we're really. Oh, wow. Okay. Do you have Facebook? No Facebook. Okay. So go to Farmers Market in Davis and you'll be there. Actually someone can just email either myself. I'm Elaine Fingret and my email address is Fingret at gmail.com or Maureen Libet. Okay. Well, what we'll do is that might be difficult. Just contact the station. We'll get you in touch. How's that? And what's the next song you're going to play for us? Well, the next song, the next song is Tonsil for the Machetanam, which that's Yiddish. And what it means is the dance for the in-laws. So this is a wedding dance for the two sets of in-laws. Are the people in the audience here maybe willing to dance to this if this is a wedding song? Oh, well, hey, I hope. You know what? If we're chlesmers, you know, if we don't get people dancing, we may as well throw in the towel. Oh boy. We have a challenge here, guys. Here we go. The Davis Chlesmer Orchestra. Actually, there are a lot of cultures who, right, and it's also Surfer, Dick and the Dell Tons. And the next song, again, is one of those songs that doesn't really have a name, but it's definitely a wedding dance tune. Another wedding dance tune. I'm getting. Listeners will be dancing. I hope so, too. Absolutely.
