Re: Meaning of "Klezmer"

I think labelling somebody's efforts as "entertainment" is the same thing as 
saying its primary concerns are not serious.

Given the amount of work that goes into a KCB presentation, I think putting its 
intent on a lower ideological shelf ("entertainment") than somebody else's 
group is tantamount to snobbery, unless Hankus or whomever says outright, "This 
is strictly to be consumed as entertainment, not as an art statement".  Until 
such time as that, though, it is to be treated as somebody's art presentation.  
This isn't a dinner theater group.  Be respectful.
