Thread Name: Playing kletzmer music (klezmer)
Subject: RE: Playing kletzmer music
Yeah, well sorta yeah.

One of my first jobs as a teenager was working in a Store where, well more like doodling on the instruments.

One of my first ever solo reading music outings was on a page of (sorry about my spelling) Ha Va Naguila. Not Kletzmer but it is an old Hebrew folk tune.

Since that time I have acquired the odd CD of this music and beleive me you better be ready to 'hop' if you plan to get into it.

The North Strand Klezmer Bhouys have been out there for a while, here I hope is an earlier you tube offering of them in blistering form. You can see why Dubliners love them so much.

Enjoy!
