NadiaPurgeDesperately trying to find the split Peach was on when I discovered them in about 1993 or 94.. their EPs are listed, but if any were splits, they don't say what was on the other side of the cassette and I am pressed. :(

🕵️old klezmers🎻this kind of thing is really what I live for & I hope to make discoveries like this one day. to think that thousands of klezmer musicians immigrated to the US, lived and died over the course of the 20th century. there must be more out there whose old music scores are with descendants who don't understand their significance.

saw a cool trove of digital documents today that were found in a box in an attic by klez-descendants this past winter & photographed -- including plenty of photos, short autobiography in Romanian and tons of music scores and newspaper clippings. it has since been donated to the LOC but the friend who photographed them called together a group of us who work with this kind of stuff to discuss what to do with it. seems like it'll become a website this winter 🤓

my latest blog post, which is quite niche but is a process I wish I had known about earlier in researching American folk music (in my case, obviously #klezmer, but the same process could be used for a lot of genres). hope it helps someone in their research at some point. I used Ukrainian-American fiddler Pawlo Humeniuk as an example because he rules.

I don't know how I spent 2.5 months doing musician research at YIVO and I never knew to call up RG 112 "Music collection" which is like a huge mix of old musical scores. Didn't even know it existed...
not necessarily relevant to my research project so not a huge loss in that sense but I definitely would have looked through and photographed some of the old klezmer scores from NY of the 1910s/20s...
