Portland Yiddish Hour

Air date:

Sun, 11/01/2009 - 10:00am - 11:00am

This week's Yiddish Hour will be a high energy, balkans/klezmer, dance, mizrachi (perhaps) show. If your kids say they don't like Jewish music, make them listen to this show. It's going to be sort of Grateful Dead meets balkan dance party (oy, maybe I make too big expectations).

Look. If you're over 50, don't be scared. Think of it this way ... haven't you always wanted to listen to what the kinder are playing, but wish the volume didn't have to be so high? I'll play it loud, but you can always turn down your own radio to a comfortable level ...

Dear Mrs. Falk:

The liturgical music is splendid! Thanks so much. Please keep it coming.

By the way, if you have any cookbooks left over after distributing them to your children, please make an announcement during the "The Yiddish Hour". I would love to purchase some more for my collection.

Happy New Year.

Dear Dame Divine!

We don't podcast our regular music shows for legal reasons. KBOO pays a license to broadcast and stream live over the internet, but not for later podcast so ... sorry.

If we produce content ourselves such as the comedy skits and interviews, that you can find via the audio link on our Yiddish Hour page. We also post playlists in case you need to know what we played. That show was by Barry ... the KBOO website is undergoing a revision and it might take a few more days before you can see the playlist from that show.

Of course, if you are clever you could set your computer to capture the live stream of the show to disk then play it back at your convenience! It's just that we can't legally do this for you.

All the best,

I like this fuzzy-quality, old-school stuff from the 1920's and earlier that comes up every now and then on the Yiddish Hour! My entry into Klezmer and other Yiddish music was through modern bands like New Orleans Klzemer All-stars and Rabbincal School Dropouts, definitely yiddish-infused but with a heavier, funky beat. It's cool to go back and hear the source. Thanks!

Glad you like the archival stuff; it's some of my favorite music to play, too, precisely for the reason you mentioned. Also, nobody tears it up like Dave Tarras, IMO.

Hi Yankl,

Great show today!

I hope you had a great time in Chicago visiting your kids. I got to know Shainah when she joined the shul where I davened in Chicago. I moved back to PDX (my hometown) last summer, though I try to get back to visit the Chicago chevra at least once a year. I was hoping to see the maps exhibit at Spertus too when I get back there next, and think that censorship is generally an immature response to difficult questions. I hope you get someone from Spertus on the show next week so we can hear more about this.

Groisse dank,
Bracha

Hello,

I was looking for the set list for the May 11th 2008 show. There was a song that I heard at about 10:30 am that morning, entitled "Gefilte Fish and Matzo Balls" I think. I wanted to know who the artist was that performed the song.

Greatly Appreciated!!

Much Thanks,
Christopher

Thanks for getting in touch about our May 11 show. We had a sub that day, but I know (and love) the track that you're asking about, which was recorded by Slim Gaillard. He had a few other Yiddishoid records, such as the immortal "Draysik Sents".
