Fwd: Where are you from?

[Jeff Kirschenbaum <jmkirsch...>]

Hi all !

Recently discovered this forum, and it has been fun and an education 
following all the threads.

I grew up in Queens, NYC and my wife is from the Bronx. Recently, I dusted 
off my clarinet (used rather infrequently these past few years) and joined 
a small Klezmer group here in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Having grown up 
playing in jazz bands and symphonic bands, I only have had a small 
understanding and knowledge of this great music.

The first time we got together, I was handed music for Dave Tarras' "Zol 
Zayn Gelebt". My true musical path has been found ! I know this must be 
great music, for when we played recently, there was so much joy and 
happiness on everyone's faces as everyone danced the night away.

Jeff (better Late then Never !) Kirschenbaum
