Re: A Yiddish World Remembered

[Sandra Layman <sandralayman...>]

There are a couple of articles about this program at
http://www.forward.com/issues/2002/02.08.09/fast3.html
and
http://www.jta.org/page_view_story.asp?strwebhead=PBS+special+looks+at+Yiddish+world&intcategoryid=5


For anyone in Seattle: KCTS (our local PBS station) will *not* be broadcasting 
this program. Write or call them if you're interested in ever seeing the film! 
(See further below.)

By the way, does anyone on the list know if any contemporary or recent klezmer 
music was used on the soundtrack for this program? I ask partly because a 
friend and I were actually hired (for a token amount) by the producer to play a 
couple of minutes of music for the opening sequence. However, that was before 
the producer got permission to use the original Abe & Sylvia Schwartz 
recording, which is what he'd wanted all along. Oh, well... (I still am fuzzy 
on why someone would need to get permission to use a recording which should be 
public domain by now, according to an intellectual-property lawyer I know, but 
that's another subject.)

Thank you for your interest in KCTS, the Public Network, and especially in
"A Yiddish World Remembered."

This program is not scheduled to air anytime in the near future.  I will
forward a request that this program be aired on to our programming
department, which relies on viewer input when making future programming
decisions.

Thank you for writing.

Best regards,

Rebecca Drewes
