RE: Where are you from?

[Mel Korn <mkorn...>]

I am in Toronto, by way of Montreal, where I spent the first half of my
life. In my veins runs the blood of what was once a significant Jewish world
in Lodz Poland.
As an aside, business brings me to Boston for most of next week, in
Braintree. I am trying to find out if there is any good music happening. I
was looking for live music on the Tuesday or Thursday? Klezmer or Jazz. Can
anyone make any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

Mel

 Na...if you're part Litvaker like me...you're still thinking about leaving
the house and the metaphysical ramifications of that!
Trudi Goodman, here...from Boston, MA. The land of the cod and the
bean...and the green bagel!
 My background is Spanish, Italian, Portuguese , Gallician, Russian and
Lithuanian and Latvian. I also(as some of you know) am part Irish. My great
grandfather James Nathan Bornstein, was an Irish orphan, abandoned on Jewish
people's doorstep(who adopted him) in London, England ...in 1870s.
 So, I'm a Lepracohen! And a Heinz 57 Jew...
I'm always thrilled to find out that so many different kinds of people love
Yiddish and Jewish music. It positively makes my day, year, and millenia!
