| Introduction | I live in Ottawa, I work at the public library. I'm greatly interested in traditional eastern european music, especially "klezmer" (jewish wedding music of eastern europe) but also pretty much anything from the area stretching from ukraine to turkey to central europe. I have deleted my blog "learning-tsymbaly" because I decided it was a vain effort to keep it up. I just don't have enough knowledge/events to keep it interesting and I don't like the idea of it "hanging over me". |
