RE: Klezmer trumpet

OK.  I understand.

Sorry everybody for my incoherence before in apologizing for my earlier 
mistake today.   I hadn't quite recovered from the shock of my mistake.
Rushing, rushing all day today.

My approach to Klezmer music is not based on authenticity.  I would like
to see trumpets more often in Klezmer music because 1)it is one of my
favourite instruments, 2) I already love examples of it as a prominent
instrument in Klezmer music (Flying Bulgars, Klezmatics).  I pointed to
Balkan music not because I want Klezmer to sound like Balkan music (I
already have Balkan music for that), but as an example showing that
trumpets can be used effectively in central and eastern European styles.
