Yiddishe Cup’s bandleader, Bert Stratton, is Klezmer Guy.
He knows about the band biz and – check this out – the real estate
biz too. So maybe he’s really Klezmer Landlord.
You may not care about the real estate biz. Hey, you may not care
about the band biz. (See you.)
This is a blog with a gamy twist. It features tenants with snakes
and skunks, and musicians with smoked fish in their pockets.
Stratton is an occasional contributor to the New York Times, the Times of Israel, the Cleveland Plain Dealer and City Journal. He won two Hopwood Awards.
