Thought some of you folks would be interested in some recent posts
from the 
Fiddle List. They are about Jews and music but not the type one
usually sees-

>From a Mr. John Burke   johnsburke (at) EMAIL(dot)MSN(dot)COM

--If
              you dabble
              in music that's significant to others, but your
              understanding is
              superficial and inept, it is like pissing on the
              graves of
              holocaust victims.


This is like saying the Jewish religion is "just fun,
              personal
              taste/preference." Don't tell me that, tell the people
              of the
              Warsaw ghetto or Bergen-Belsen. Fiddling may be all
              fun for some,
              but for fiddlers, it is the core of existence.

And another message on Fiddle-l in reply to the above from a Ms Shelah 
Weinreich-     Weinreich_S (at) PILLSBURYLAW(dot)COM

 By ONLY playing
              a certain way or a
              certain style, with no changes, no forward momentum,
              you have limited
              yourself to the eastern Polish Orthodox Jews who were
              led like sheep to
              their deaths.  

The above appears in full in the digest form of Fiddle-l  Oct 29 to
Oct 30


Apparently even in computerland you don't have to go very far to
encounter 
garbage
