Excellent stuff.

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

You can definitely hear the influence on klezmer music in it,

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

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

particularly later on in the video.  Love the violinist who
sings
and drags bow hair across the strings for effect,

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. :(

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.
