Phooey, indeed!  

For what it's worth, I didn't come to klezmer music through dusty 78's or my
Grandmother's lullebyes.  I came to it through listening to the klezmorim in
the late 70's on WFMT.  The rest followed.  I still love to give "Streets of
Gold" a spin now and then, especially while looking at Robert Crumb's
immigrants.  Some people never liked this interpretation of klezmer, but I
always found history better when leavened with a bit of humor.
