Re: Midwest Klezmer Institute: 4/98

[The Dorch <TheDorch...>]

Hey, this came over on the Jewish Music List. The lady running it contacted
Sarah to invite us to perform. I think we should do it. As Sarah says, $200 is
shitty for a saturday night, and I guess we won't have tony unless he changes
work nights -- but I think this would be important exposure for us. 15 minutes
-- we could do Unterhund and one other favorite. If Sarah has to give up work
that night I'd be willing to give her my share of the booty to get her to play
with us. Eh, Sarah? Anyway, here's the poop I have so far.

Sarah, if you can, say yes immediately -- if it's just me and tim, we'll still
play. Even if it's just tim! Right? Hello?
