Details:
When I go to "shivas" (houses of mourning), people sometimes say, "I know you, but from where?"
"I''m the klezmer guy," I say.
That solves that.
It''s good to be a guy . . . a klezmer guy, computer guy, cable guy.
How to be a klezmer guy: lead a klezmer band in your hometown for 20 years.
Yiddishe Cup plays all over, but its main territory is the Midwest: Ohio, Michigan . . . any place rusty.
We’re oxidized.
But we do occasionally loosen up. We carry Jewish WD-40, a.k.a schmaltz.
Get unctuous with Yiddishe Cup. Crank it up safely. The klezmer guys, Yiddishe Cup, will even check your coolant level for free.
Yo, what about the band’s artistic levels?
Instrumental klez, good. Original compositions, good. Klez fusion, good. Neo-Borscht Belt comedy, good.
"Gut to go."
