Re: Klezmer 5-string Banjo

[Robert Cohen <rlcm17...>]

The original havurah (not the musical group) was and is called 
Fabrangen, and the musical group that spun off from them was and is 
called the (heilige) Fabrangen Fiddlers.  They've recorded a number of 
albums (their original one is no longer available) with a folk 
liturgical bent.  I have the Country Klezmorim LP (I'm not clear from 
Ari's post whether he has or not; I assume so), in case (Ari doesn't 
and) anyone wants more info about its contents--but I doubt it's 
available in any form.  I just listened to a Chanukah song on it during 
... Chanukah.
