Re: Andy Statman (Klezmer Bluegrass Fusion)

[Owen Davidson <owend...>]

Andy has been a busy boy, all right.  The first time I saw him live, he
was playing a tiny baglama in a rembetika-revival group called
"Palioparea."  Another time, he performed Persian music on the tar at the
Alternative Museum (meaning the instrument; they weren't redoing the
floor).  Who knows what other musical ventures have escaped the recording
stylus?
