Re: OT, but hot, HOT! Romanian musicians

[Peter Rushefsky <rushefsky_p...>]

As to the question of women musicians in Clejani, here's some information about
a film on the topic:

>>> Sandra Layman 03/13 5:56 PM >>>
BTW, a little girl in the audience at the performance for kids this morning
asked the band a great question, "Why are there no girls playing with you?"
The answer was that, traditionally, no women played instruments. However,
since the musicians have been touring around in the past decade, they've
been hearing excellent women instrumentalists in various places, and now
they're teaching their daughters the instruments. Hurrah!

Best,
Sandra Layman (fiddler)
