Word

[Sylvie Braitman <curlySylvie...>]

It seems that the word we are looking for would be the equivalent of "soul" or 
"swing" or "groove'. Yiddishn(?)  Tam is almost too self explanatory, 
redundant, maybe Tam alone is better. I think we need to look in the direction 
of a word that symbolizes (not tell) what Klezmer is about.
Do I have one?
No, of course!
Maybe the question is: what IS Klezmer about. When we get the answer, we'll get 
the word.
