Re: klezmer melodic contours 5

[HNetsky <HNetsky...>]

Sorry for the time warp in my attention to the list; gig season and all.  I 
loved Josh's answer to the question about the endings, but I think Mr. 
Puwalski's question regarding the "one ending" is actually about the "klezmer 
ending," those ubiquitous three notes.  I often wondered about the origin of 
this.  The American musicians I've asked think of it as somewhat rude signal 
that the meter has run out; more bills in the case, please, or we'll just sit 
here with our arms folded.  Anyone have more info?  --Hankus
