Fw: it was quite an event! - 1. Kezmer-Dance-Workshop in Vienna, Austria

Sounds great!  I would have gone if I lived there, especially considering the 
recent comments regarding Leon's knowledge of the dance.  And there's a little 
riddle going around here that goes:  "How do you define perfect pitch?"  An 
accordionist would answer:  "When you toss a clarinet into the toilet without 
hitting the rim."  I don't need to tell you what a clarinetist would say.

1. Klezmer-Dance-Workshop in Vienna, Austria

End of April we organised a Klezmer-Dance-Workshop in Vienna, Austria.
Saturday and Sunday there were approx. 35 people dancing; Leon Blank from 
Sweden was our danicing teacher (he regularly does Klezmer-Dance-Classes in 
Cracow, Poland during the Festival for Jewish Culture), our musicians were 
Isaak Loberan (accordion) and Kurt Edlmair (clarinet).
After the workshop was a concert - more than 110
people came, approx. 20 were dancing.


We plan to organise a similar event next year - if you are interested, please 
mail your address and I will inform you in time!
- And if you are intersted in presenting a CD, doing a little concert, ... 
please mail!


Kind regards from Vienna!
