The book<\/strong><\/span> Dave Tarras<\/a>: The King of Klezmer<\/em> is 37 pages. Big<\/em> pages: 8 \u00bd” X 14″. Tarras played clarinet in the Catskills and brought his wife to the “mountains.” He owned a house in Brooklyn. He wore a suit a lot. He was very talented. Here are two representative sentences from the book: 1) \u201c’I admired my grandfather and loved to spend some time in the mountains [with him],’ said Marc Tarras, grandson and doctor.”\u00a0 2) “Dave was a very funny guy and had a great sense of humor.”<\/p>\n
