Music





In this area there is no shortage of musicians. From chamber music to Klezzmer jazz, to street-accordian, any night we can hear talented people. Last night we walked to the Kazimierz district, (in the falling snow) to hear the Klezzmates. They were all business. Not a word was spoken. Not a "hello", "this next song...", or anything! The sound they produced was fantastic. Yet, they didn't offer a CD, nor did the venue where we saw them.
One of the many things we will miss when we return home, will be the music. The tone of the church bells ringing every quarter hour. The trumpeter at St. Mary's, sounding the hour as he has for centuries. And the harmonica man who sits off the beaten path.
