<\/p>\n

I have<\/strong><\/span> a closet full of unsold Yiddishe Cup CDs. Maybe I should get Irwin Weinberger from Yiddishe Cup to hand-paint covers for the CDs. I’ll sell them as art. (Irwin is a painter and musico<\/em>.)<\/p>\n

\"art<\/a>. . . Done.<\/em><\/p>\n

Thanks, Irwin!<\/p>\n

I’ve already sent out some of Irwin\u2019s art-laden CDs for review, and I’ve gotten back these blurbs:<\/p>\n

1. Rabbi Albert Trattons: \u201cYou nailed it, Yiddishe Cup. This is better than my shalom plaque. However, the music is so-so.\u201d<\/p>\n

2. Treb Nottarts,<\/strong><\/span> Cleveland Plain Dealer<\/em> art critic: \u201cThis is grand theft–art from the Jewish Museum. I’m talking New York<\/em> Jewish Museum. Tremendous. Just one quibble, why so few rollicking tunes on this CD?\u201d<\/p>\n

3. Albie Sattront, A&R, Capitol Records: \u201cLove the Chagall cover. Music is kind of\u00a0 fun too.\u00a0 Caught half of\u00a0 track 1 — a personal best for me and klez.”<\/p>\n

4. Albert Ratnotts, real estate developer: \u201cI’m buying your band!\u00a0These CDs would make excellent tiles for the kitchen floors at my downtown apartments.”<\/p>\n
