Excellent stuff. You can definitely hear the influence on klezmer
music in it, particularly later on in the video. Love the
violinist who sings and drags bow hair across the strings for
effect, looks like his other job is mob boss (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pT4IufMeyYA&t=537s). His singing
reminds me a bit of an Islamic adhan.

I think it would be better if they uptempo-ed it a bit, don't you?

Never heard anything like this. Heard Grappelli, Reinhardt, and stuff
but never anything like this.

I'm not sure what those are but I would imagine so.

I have a hard time with that sound and the song. Love it ... but ... My reactions to that sound were
1. WT bleep is this!!!
2. Awesome !!!
3. Um, Pelle. Step back. You smell blood.

I sure don't want to know what the lyrics are about. It's not a boy
meets girl song. It could be a boy ends girl song. The guy sings and
plays out of this world.

The guy who plays the xylophone-like thing plays some intersting
sounding patterns in this song and the others too. I would love to see
the score for those. I tried to earball some stuff but could only get 1
out of ten notes. :(

I can see the steam rising from *skriptis' ears. But you can
definitely hear the similarities.

As I understand it, it's all played by ear so probably every
performance is slightly unique.

Indeed, it was *great*, J. It's not possible to *not* be influenced by
the sound and rhythms.

And an impressively shifty-looking lot, weren't they? Certainly good
that they're so musically talented; I can't see any of them as bankers
or financial advisers, can you?

There is an appeal to that kind of authenticity. Like some of the
old blues legends who played to eat and probably never thought
their recordings would be being played 50-100 years later with
reverence.
