  1. wrote up a quick blog post about this new set of scores I received from the LOC. once I made a tally of the klezmer pieces listed on the score covers, I realized we still haven't seen almost half of them, but this is still better than nothing and IMO a very cool look into extremely early klezmer in NYC.

  6. finally finished my latest blog post which I've been working on for the last few weeks after I got interested in E 2nd Street and its klezmer connection.

    I definitely went from "wow this is neat" to "WTF am I doing" over the past month, but I may as well document it🤪

  11. "For more than two decades, #PJLibrary has mailed free #Jewish #childrensbooks to families around the world. Today, it distributes roughly 670,000 #books monthly in more than 40 countries. According to #AlisaKoyrakh, the organization’s director of books, those stories have historically reflected a familiar slice of Jewish life.

    “There are just a lot of #Ashkenormative #stories out there—a lot of stories about #Yiddish, the #LowerEastSide and immigration from Eastern #Europe,” #Koyrakh said. “Those are all really important stories. But we saw gaps. It was kind of obvious.”

    The #Sephardic Stories Initiative intends to fill those gaps, bringing together Sephardic and #Mizrahi #writers for a year of workshops, editorial mentorship and critique from their peers."

  16. fuck yes -- YIVO's new United Hebrew Trades collection still yielding some real gems. this is an ad in the back of the UHT's 40th anniversary journal (1928). Benjamin Greenberg (1882–1944) was, like Joseph Moskowitz, born in Galați Romania and apparently followed in his cimbalist-restaurateur footsteps.

  21. Our neighborhood has the best graffiti!

  22. In 1979, artists occupied a city-owned building in Loisaida to protest policies gutting the neighborhood. The city offered them 156 Rivington Street. After eviction threats and a decade without a building, ABC No Rio broke ground in July 2024. Back in fall 2026, owning it outright.

  27. Transcribing part of a 1970s interview with Louis Grupp that Henry Sapoznik sent me last year, to include a quote or two from it in my upcoming blog post. Eventually I should ask his permission to transcribe and post the whole thing as it has so many fascinating historical vignettes. 🧵

  32. RE: klezmor.im/@carkner/1168766680

    having been adding to this tally over morning coffee most days since this, and so far I'm at 165 Jewish musicians who lived along this strip ~1910-25, of which ~45 are known klezmer musicians and ~55 are Progressive Musical Benevolent Society members. (the organization's office was right here.) so really if there were likely many hundreds or low thousands of klezmer musicians (?) in NYC in that era, it's not at all the majority of them.

  37. I forget where I posted a thread about him on here, and good luck finding it with mastodon search, but ... in my new research looking into more potential klezmer musicians living along East 2nd St in Manhattan in the 1910s-20s I found a guy called Harry Loigsaltz. After getting confused by multiple appearances in directories I realized there were two Harry Loigsaltzes ... one being Harry Lubin👇

  42. trying to just follow my curiosity for my summer research without any particular goal, and I'm intrigued how many klezmer musicians lived on this two block stretch of East 2nd St in Manhattan during the 1910s-20s. I've counted about 90 so far and now poking around in the 1915 census to see who else.
