Better read my reply again, I never said YOU. It was a statement about how 
people treat Jewish music when they have to support it. The whole thing goes 
back to what I said. Sometimes you just have to accept what is available 
until something better comes along. when you'r starving to death, you don't 
hold out until somebody invites you to a 4 star restaurant, in many ways, 
Yiddish music is starving. I therefore give credit to both Kempin & Lemm for 
at least offering what they have to give.   Nobody is forceing you to listen 
to or purchase (have I told you we accept Visa & Mastercard) his recordings.  
If Hatikvah only carried the recordings I liked, I could put a bowling alley 
in the store, but there is a need for representing things that are not my 
personal taste!

As far as Mandy goes, to each his own, not my cup of tea, but I'm glad he did 
it. I do happen to like his Yossel, Yossel which is not on that Cd, but more 
about that MUCH later.

Enough already, I think we should give the List a break, there are so many 
more important issues such as , Why is it that no one plays the triangel in 
Klezmer bands, and if they did, would they getr the girls??
