Isle of Klezbos (re: NYBC event & new shows)

[SICULAR <SICULAR...>]

Hi,
We're just back from our Isle of Klezbos tour & thanks to all who attended.  
We had a wonderful time at all the shows.

Sorry for any confusion as to the National Yiddish Book Center show.  Ari was 
certainly only further announcing publicity which I sent for the band, info 
for which I am responsible.  The NYBC show was originally scheduled to be 
outdoors.  Sometime between our being booked and our performance, the 
organizers decided that for audience seating comfort, we would not play in 
the outdoor amphitheater.  The NYBC indoor auditorium is beautiful, but space 
is limited.  (However, there were certainly some folks in that packed house 
who came just for the music, so I'm still not sure exactly which policy we 
were experiencing... anyway, nice to hear so many people singing all the 
Yiddish lyrics back to us!)  We can't always e-mail the latest developments 
from the road, and that's why we always include phone numbers and whatever 
contact info we can for each venue.  Thanks for checking these out.  BTW, I 
don't think anyone was ever turned away at the door there, as we tried to 
clarify the situation.

We do hope to play in Western Massachusetts again - at an indubitably open 
venue - before too long.  And sounds like we'll be back for another public 
concert at Harvard University (a larger venue there next time) within the 
coming year.  We'll keep you posted as best we can, or check 
<www.metropolitanklezmer.com> for details.  New listings going up this week!

thanks,
