 Good comments, by the way, as to our need to relate to Kval techniques as 
well, what traditions peope were in touch with. Anyway, just briefly about 
Boxwood (in Nova Scotia every summer) , since it was indeed monumental to have 
Klezmer brought to a camp that specializes in Irish traditions. It was indeed 
incredibly gratifying to be invited to teach there, to teach students, advanced 
and beginner, music that they had never experienced, heard of, thought of. They 
learned modes easily and just kept coming back for more tunes. I wish there 
were more seminars/camps that did this including various folk musics. I know 
there are fiddles that include klezmer in traditional fiddling camps. Anyway, 
thanks for asking. I thought for sure that, by being with two of the finest 
Irish 
flutists in the world, Desi Wilkinson and Hammy Hamilton, I'd find out what 
klezmer tunes were being played in Ireland. Nadda. Nothin'. Desi only wanted 
ours! I said "Come on, what do you hear at irish simchas?! " He couldn't tell 
me, although he'd been to plenty. Boo.
