Hang around Frank long enough, you hear a lot of things like that... :)

that quote was from an online interview though (linked from the Shack)

Yakov.
Trombonist, "Kap'n Klezmer and the Klez Kadets"
http://www.kobyland.com
KLEZMER -- new section!

"It's just that you have all these things, the commodification of klezmer, the 
'ethnic flavor of the month,' this being 'more traditional' than that, you have 
all these issues that you know they're there and it's all true. What seems like 
the only healthy thing to do is just not even think about it, and just make the 
best music. What else can you do, ultimately?" - Frank London
