Klezmer, blues, Roma, jazz, great film, smart people, Socialism (yay team!), environmentalism, vegetarianism, dwarf fruit trees, my honey of a family, good people. And belly dancing!
Music
Are ya kidding? Did you not read anything I already wrote?
Movies
Good one! Anything by Emir Kusturica or Gianni Amelio. Props to neo-Mexican filmmakers, and to the Romanian film industry, too! And needless to say, I saw the documentary film, "The Last Klezmer"... so I had to marry the director. As far as I know, I'm the only fan of the film who carried it that far... If I see any other films I love that much, I may be tempted into polygamy (doubtful!)
Television
My favorite non-chemical sleep aid.
Books
All the time!
Heroes
I don't even know where to begin... you might be one of them...
About me: I specialize in improvisational modal singing in the Romanian klezmer style (Oi, Romania, dulce Romania!). Very, very - scratch that,SERIOUSLY - fortunate to be in a kicking band (check out Yale Strom & Hot Pstromi) with some very tasty artists - Yale Strom, Peter Stan, Norbert Stachel, David Licht, Sprocket. Have guested with astounding artists in the jazz and Eastern European music worlds, collaborated with geniuses... Romanian auteur Radu Gabrea has filmed a documentary about me... hmmm, what else? CHECK OUT MY WEBSITE, WWW.VOICEOFKLEZMER.COM, for more about me... because even though we're talking about an art form that perhaps fewer than 1/2 of a percent of the world know and care about... I like to tell myself that it's all about me. Thanks for indulging that...
