Re: Yiddish performance and klezmer clubs

[the Cheshire Cat <alanacat...>]

Well, I went to one a while ago: It's at the Rockville JCC, I don't know 
when it meets regularly, but mostly what it was was a Yiddish folk-song 
(NOT KLEZMER!  Which is how it was described to me. This is INCORRECT)  
hour or so. Most of the audience were individuals who had come over from 
the Hebrew Home next door. I believe that usually the  Cafe is conducted 
in Yiddish exclusively, however they will translate if there are audience 
members who don't speak Yiddish (they did for me). The person conducting 
the cafe the night I was there was  the singer for the Capital Klezmer, 
but I was given to understand that this is not the usual person. SHe did 
not do any klezmer music.
