The musician of Lublin

[Alex J. Lubet <lubet001...>]

Dear Fellow Listers:

I've just received an invitation to teach American music at Marie Curie 
University in Lublin, Poland for five weeks in spring 1999.  I'm interested in 
any information/advice any of you may have to offer about any aspect of such a 
trip, including ways I might make myself useful to any of you on the list.  I 
don't want to drown you with details about myself, but:

1)  Although my day job is teaching classical music, I compose (and write lyrics
and occasionally scripts) mostly for theatre and play guitar and mandolin in 
Jewish and world music groups.

2)  I don't speak Polish.  I studied Russian and German too long ago and my 
Yiddish is about like everybody else's whose parents didn't want them to learn 
it.

3)  I think I'm only lecturing one day a week, so I'll be able to do a fair 
amount of travel.

Whatever you can tell me will be appreciated.

Thanks,
