  <1) That people who don't play klezmer with Chassidic soul are divorcing it 
from its source (but what if non-Jews were playing it with that 
inspiration--would that be OK?)

  2) That people who play Chassidic music but don't keep Jewish law are not 
doing any service to the Chassidim who inspire them.  Women shouldn't sing, we 
shouldn't play on Shabbos, we should devote our lives to mitzvos, and then the 
music all makes sense in context.>

  How observant were Dave Tarras, Naftule Brandwein, etc?
