Re: celtic klez ta

[Andy Rubin <andyrubin...>]

Ernie-   (The Irish traditional group) De Danann recorded an absolutely
astounding version of two Dave Tarras tunes (Nor Gelebt, Nor Gelakht and
Onga Bucharesti); they call the cut something like "Two Jewish Reels".
Note-to-note button accordion and fiddle, Celtic style, 2000 miles per
hour. It'll knock your socks off. I think they say they learned them from
Andy Statman. (I just have a tape of the one cut, so I can't tell you which
De Danann CD it's on, but it should be easy to find.)

If you can get 85 miles west of San Francisco to Sacramento, you're very
welcome to come to one of our rehearsals. We usually practice on Wednesday
and Sunday nights. We have a wonderful Celtic fiddler-turned-klezmer named
Dave Kidd, who used to live in Australia.
