We haven't had much klezmer on SoundRoots since July 4th (!), so let us ponder for a moment this happysad music of the Jewish people. I love the stuff, and wonder if perhaps I should have been Jewish. I mean, I don't eat pork, I obey the 10 Commandments (almost all of the time), and I still laugh at Adam Sandler's " Chanukah Song ." On the other hand, I love me some Dungeness crab, I hold Saturdays sacred mainly for soccer, and I don't much like Woody Allen movies. So I guess I won't go yarmulke shopping ...
