Jewish Music Rolls
By Larry Greenfield

[ Larry, you sent this to <rollreq@foxtail.com>, which is normally

 [ Hope I'm correct.  -- Robbie

Shalom -- It is nice to see so many people express an interest in these
rolls.  QRS in the 20s and 30s made a lot of ethnic rolls, and perhaps
they have a back catalogue that they could share.  Perhaps someone close
to them in Buffalo could call the owner -- Mr. Berkowitz?.

The idea of recutting rolls for any ethnic group is fascinating.  So much
interesting music is out there.  Perhaps a chat conference to start with,
of those interested in the Jewish rolls, in order to develop plans for
recutting, by whom, where, and price to buy, etc.

I will call the Yiddish Book Museum to see if they have an interest in
acting as a repository of Jewish/Yiddish music.  Some Jewish music is
secular and some is for the various holidays.

Thanks
