It’s #Blues man Muddy Waters birthday today, April 4 (1913-ish) and to celebrate him starting off on harmonica and a “broken down #accordion” this week’s episode of @accordionnoir radio is a tangle of different squeezebox blues styles
From Muddy Waters himself (with #GarthHudson of The Band on 
) to #CountryMusic #Klezmer #CajunMusic #Zydeco #Bluegrass and #Jazz
With the world as it is, a little blues seemed like the thing to do

the other day in my research at YIVO I was looking at the materials of the Kolomear Friends Association, a mutual aid society of NY immigrant Jews from Kolomyia (then in Galicia, Austria-Hungary, today in Ukraine).
It tickled two of my soft spots, I love mutual aid societies with Friends in the name and I love the dance/song form kolomeyka, which exists in #klezmer and #Ukrainian music and is named after this place
will have to visit it one day.

This is my dad. He picked up the flute when he was 60. He's gonna turn 80 this year. I'm so proud of him.

I saw the opening night of this last night at The Brick here in Brooklyn, what a hoot. I'm told it's been running in London for years and quite well known over there. an extended steam-room monologue with many tangents and musical interludes and sound effects from klezmer accordion and clarinet.

Looks messy, but this is a great archival document of New York klezmer history. It's a burial map of the Progressive Musical Benevolent Society's section at Beth Israel cemetery in New Jersey. This was a mutual aid society of mostly klezmer musicians and their families, but also some theatre and classical musicians of immigrant Jewish backgrounds. The list of names isn't online like their plot at Mt Hebron cemetery is. Great way to find out about forgotten musicians

The Reminder · Klezmer Festival coming to Bombyx Center March 23 - The ReminderNORTHAMPTON — A day-long celebration of klezmer music with workshops, concert and community potluck will be hosted at Bombyx Cetner for Arts & Equity on Sunday, March 23, and will feature a new group ready to lead the day of music and culture.
A thread of some photos from the Joseph and Lara Cherniavsky archival collection at YIVO. Russian Jewish musicians who were married & arrived in NYC around 1920, Lara was a pianist and arranger, and Joseph was a cellist, composer and bandleader. This seems to be backstage in the mid 1920s in Joseph's "Hasidic American Jazz Band" which was neither Hasidic nor Jazz, but was a vaudeville klezmer act featuring some of NY's finest.
Continued thread
[...] "Unfortunately, these were fully orchestrated, but the other parts (there's only the first violin at YIVO) have not yet been located."
Some of Joel Rubin's commentary on the context of this can be read in his "Szpilman, Bajgelman, Barsht: The Legacy of an Extended Polish Jewish Klezmer Family." Polin: Studies in Polish Jewry 32 (2020): 193-218.
Even out of all the old historical materials I've been looking at at YIVO, this was one of the most awe-inspiring to me. A music manuscript of Yontef Spilman of Siedlec (1827-93) "Reb Yontl", a klezmer musician, passed on by his nephew Sam Spielman who had played in his orchestra and later emigrated to New York. 
I photographed all of it but it's hard to even imagine how it originally sounded.
