Re: defining klezmer (and jazz and rock 'n roll)

Lori -

Thanks for mentioning this great song!

If anyone's actually going to sing it, Bessies words are "I need a little hot 
dog
ON my roll", and then later on it becomes, "between my rolls." (Yikes!)

(Since it's Black History Month, I happened to have performed this particular
song as part of a tribute to the great ladies of the blues several times over 
the
last couple of weeks, so it's really nice to see it come up on this list.)
