Re: celtic and klez

[Joel Bresler <jbresler...>]

The piece is a free-form adaptation of "Oy, Abram". It also appears on the
KCB "Klez" CD, and I'm sure on many other recordings.

Interesting cross-over, yes? See also the Celtic Klezmer concert tape
available from the House of Musical Traditions.

Best, Joel
