\nGreenman asks, “Should a klezmer song end with a squirt or a pop? Or should the bandleader just scream, ‘It was all a mistake!'”<\/p>\n
\nRev. Friedman is the spiritual leader of the Church-a-gogue, Twinsburg, Ohio. Friedman invented the Jewish freewill offering. It isn\u2019t free. Friedman delivers his\u00a0powerful “Klezmer!” sermon today.<\/p>\n
\nStratton rewinds to when freylekhs<\/em> tempos were T-120. She shows us her latest interpretive dance, “BlintzUh.” This mixed-genre dance involves cream cheese and two clarinets.<\/p>\n
\nWino from Wilno delivers the first klez manifesto since Alicia Svigals wailed \u201cAgainst Nostalgia\u201d at the 1996 Wesleyan University Klezmer Conference.<\/p>\n
\n2. I\u2019ve done some bad things. Sorry.
\n3. I get paid to eat at weddings.
\n4. A scrap of paper in my wallet says I owe you.\u00a0Shut up, scrap!<\/p>\n
\nDouglass discusses the bar mitzvah repertoire of the late 20th century. Followed by a limbo contest.

\nRold Gold, Dan Dee, Snyder\u2019s of Berlin, or Snyder\u2019s of Hanover?<\/p>\n
\nWatch some movies, eat some burgers, go to bars, and don’t change your middle name from Arlene to 3<\/em>.<\/p>\n
\nWhat’s your take on bark mitzvahs? (Bar mitzvahs for dogs.) Are they for real? What’s Jewish about your hunt<\/em>?<\/p>\n
\nIs your sound system\u00a0good enough for klezmer? If you were to sit in Moon Stevens’ L.A. living room, on his couch, it would be like you’re in the front row at Shelly’s Manne-Hole. The speakers are mounted on maple. What you got?<\/p>\n
\nIn his eBook memoir, clarinetist Hans Filber wrote: “My aunt once told me — she was drunk — ‘Why do you play that silly music? You\u2019re German.’ But other than, nobody thinks it\u2019s odd.” Discuss.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
