Not yet. With as many Yids as we have in the forefront of this genre, I
tried to interest several prominent Bluegrass labels in a "JewGrass"
concept recording. But nobody expressed any interest in it. Guess I'll have
to do it myself.

>Also, does Mark Rubin's Klezmer band make this kind of fusion?

As for my little group, nope. Do mess around a bit with Persian Oudist on
Terkische/Taxim on our new CD, but nothing off the chart.

Am actively looking for a hamische Bob Dunn, however. You can't properly
field a proper band in Texas with out fiddle AND steel.
