QQ arising from talk @YiddishNewYork - anyone know what happened to Martin Schwartz's archive of klezmer and greek music at Cal? It was seminal for the Klezmorim and others; he was a major mentor for West Coast klezmer revival #klezmer #archives

This morning’s klezmer highlight. New/old recording to me of a fun tune I’ve been playing for years.

Called by many names! The name on this track, the “Ezmilover Bulgar” in the Hoffman family book, , or me, simply, “Bulgar no. 9.”
