Re: Klezmer/klezmer

[Lori Cahan-Simon <l_cahan...>]

I want to thank everyone on this list for the fabulous discussions and
information that all are so generous with.  Since I joined this group a few
years ago it has been the best education for me, leading me to listening and
reading and learning.  I cannot imagine having been able to accomplish as much
as I have without you.  There are many artists who are jealously secretive
about their knowledge, but not you.  Some of you have become my best friends,
and I feel fortunate to be part of this community.
