   The big Jewish music event this coming weekend in the New York area is
   actually slightly to the north--Yale is hosting what looks to be a
   fascinating Jewish music conference, starting off with a free concert
   by Brave Old World on Saturday night:

FWIW, I hope, G*d willing, to go to *both* conferences--Lomax and Jewish
music.  (In between, I'll be picking up my annual kosher-for-Passover
cheesecakes in Borough Park--kind of my annual visit there.)

Can't imagine why anyone would schedule a Jewish music conference a few
days before Passover, though.
