I just came across this old message in my "tickler" file and was stuck by the
fact that Alex Eppler accompanies Sandra Layman on the CD she announced last
week. The recordings were done in the early 1980s, but the playing is quite
excellent. I have more information at
http://www.klezmershack.com/index.html#layman , or consult the list archives for
her announcement. The CD can be purchased at http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/layman.
