Bob Liebman helped me out a lot when I started playing Balkan music in earnest, though it has been so many years that he probably doesn't remember me--he was leaving U of Penn in Philly as I was moving there, and helped me to connect with the Serbian and Romania communities there, and with many musicians that I played with and dancers that I played forth--

It should have occurred to me that your song was probably on his album, since it really is a standard reference for Albanian folk music --but I lost my copy of it years ago, and for some reason, it didn't come to mind--

We used to play Nesho a lot in Philly and we got a lot of requests for Beraçe, but I only would do it if there was a drummer around who could hold the beat down--the rhythm is the impossible to explain, let alone play, and it needs to to be spot on for dancers to manage--

For what it is worth, Albanian music is pretty difficult for non-Albanian musicians to cut, even assuming that you can get passed the language--

Anyway, thanks for letting me know about the CD--it is something I really ought to have--
