Nice to hear the voices of two of my favourite people in the #klezmer or Canadian #yiddishist world, Avia Moore (artistic director of #Klezkanada) and Sebastian Schulman, translator and former Exec Director of same. I haven't been to KK in person in a decade but it was a very formative cultural milieu for me and dear to my heart.

Avia Moore's designs for #KlezKanada are always so good. I haven't been in a decade (except online) but some years I get someone to bring me back a t-shirt to Vancouver.

On the ribbon it says

My latest #Wikipedia bio, which came out of another draft I've been trying to work on about #YiddishSummerWeimar -- Dawid was mentioned in several of the sources so I wrote him his own article too. In my opinion, one of the best klezmer #clarinetists out there; I took a class with him at #KlezKanada about 15 years ago when he was touring with Konsonans Retro.

Feedback and corrections welcome as always!

Avia Moore has been designing t-shirts for #klezkanada for years and they just get better every year. The 2023 ones are gorgeous. I'm not going (trip would be too costly and falls during busy time at my work) but I may try to find someone from Vancouver to bring one back for me šŸ˜

order info here, but it's pickup only at the camp:
