Kurenets Yizkor book

[Helen Winkler <winklerh...>]

There's an interesting section from the Kurenets Yizkor book, that gives a 
lot of detail about musical life in that shtetl. It even mentions someone 
called Bentze der Tantzer who taught the people in shtetl how to play music 
and how to dance (too bad they don't describe which dances he taught).

Also described is how a blind man was taught to play the mandolin.

You can find the description at:
