Concert Report: The Klezmatics
Your Humble Blogger was lucky enough to get to see The Klezmatics in concert last weekend. Well, I was lucky enough to get a babysitter. The tickets we bought, so I’m not sure that luck played a large part in…

Comments Off on Puffed again: The Klezmatics
I believe I puffed the new album, Wonder Wheel, from The Klezmatics. The album, by the way, won a Grammy for Best Contemporary World Music Album, for whatever that’s worth. I may have also mentioned that The Klezmatics give great…
Perhaps not quite enough yet … ok, now.

Horny, er, in a sense
Gentle Readers, Your Humble Blogger needs your help. I’m making a mix, and I know I’m missing some songs, and I can’t come up with what’s missing. It began, as my mixes often do, when the Shuffle played two songs…
