Bulbes Gary Bluestone

The title to the song is "Bulbes " or sometimes called "Zuntik Bulbe". meaning Potatoes or Sunday Potatoes. It is a popular Klezmer song sung in Yiddish with a few Polish words. The expression" varemes un vetshere" (wieczor) literally translates from Polish to warm in the evening and refers to the evening meal. The word bulbes for potatoes may come from the fact that potatoes are bulbes related to tulip bulbes.

The guitar is a Takamine and Co. EF-400MS 12 string with maple back and sides and spruce top. It was said to be a copy of the Martin guitar right down to the Logo decal, which was latter changed by Takamine to one that didn't resemble the Martin logo. This example is about 30 years old now.
The microphone is a Shure Beta 58A.
