THE KLEZMER FIDDLE

Following the release of my 2 albums of Klezmer Fiddle Music, "Echoes of the Shtetl" & "The Klezmer Fiddle", I created this separate website to promote the albums, with an abundance of fascinating historical details about the origin of Klezmer music, and a unique selection of precious, rare photographs of the tragically lost Shtetls of Eastern Europe, where Klezmer music once blossomed for centuries, prior to the virtual total destruction of Jewish culture in Eastern Europe during the Holocaust.

On a lighter note, this new website also features a selection of some of my "Semitically Surreal" Klezmer Fusion Experiments - first seen on Youtube...ranging from "Heavy SHTETL Music" (Klezmer/thrash metal guitar fusions!), "JEWGRASS Banjo" (Klezmer/5-string banjo fusion), to PSYCHEDELIC "electro-Klezmer" fusion (featuring Klezmer music played on my electric fiddle & electric mandolin!)...OY VEY!!  ;o)
