Hey there! Today's #ShareTheMusic takes on a bit of a new format. A little bit of a longer, bloggy format. Let me know if you like this better, or prefer the short 'Hey this is a song I like format'.
Onto the music!
Today I'd like to talk about Daniel Kahn and the Painted Bird.
They play Klezmer music (Big surprise that the Ashkenazim Zionist Dude listens to Klezmer, yeah? )
And there is one particular song I'd like to suggest, from the 2012 album "Bad Old Songs" called Good Old Bad Old Days.
Daniel himself calls it an 'Ostalgic Ballad' and it has an interesting sort of story of a man singing about how he misses his time in East Berlin.
