Rivers of Babylon was recorded in 1979 by the Delaware Water Gap
String Band on "From the Rivers of Babylon to the Land of Jazz"
(Kicking Mule Records KM-205). It is long out-of-print.
Members of the band included David Brody (who went on to play for the
Klezmer Conservatory Band) and our very own Henry "Hank" Sapoznik.
Does that make it Jewish music?
