Upcoming Concerts and album!

[Wholesale Klezmer Band <ganeydn...>]

Sholem Aleykhem everyone!

I haven't been active on this list for the past few months because 
Peggy and I have been working intensely on the artwork and booklet 
layout for our newest CD, Zingen far sholem, tantsn far freyd--Sing 
for Peace, Dance for Joy-- (as well as on Peggy's new line of Custom 
Printed Ketubot!).  The CD is at the manufacturer's now and we hope 
to have some in hand in time for our upcoming concerts.

It's nice to see postings by old friends again and to see that you're 
out there performing.

So here's where we'll be during December.  I hope we'll see some of 
you there. Please say hello if you come.

WHAT'S NEW
from the
WHOLESALE KLEZMER BAND?

Let us make peace and and do justice,
And heal our poor world, which is our greatest treasure,
When slavery and oppression have disappeared from the face of the Earth,
We won't need to see the Messiah to know that the time of the Messiah has come.

--translated from Az Moshiakh Vet Ersht Kumen or Kafka's Paradox by 
Yosl Kurland

Franz Kafka wrote that the Messiah will only come when he is no 
longer needed. Joe (Yosl) Kurland of the Wholesale Klezmer Band has 
composed a rousing Yiddish song turning that idea into a joyous 
invitation to take part in making the world a better place.

You'll find Kafka's Paradox and much much more on our new album, 
Zingen far sholem, tantsn far freyd (Sing for Peace, Dance for Joy), 
which we hope will be back from the manufacturer in time to sell at 
the above performances.

And you can see the cover art, contents list and a link to download 
the entire text of the CD booklet including Yiddish lyrics, 
translations and transliterations at:
