The KlezmerShack reviews the Chevra...er...Khevre.
Velvel posts a new Even Sh'siyah MP3. Vietur.
Eli Gerstner has updated his website. Sheet music for his songs can be found here.
Finally, here's Instapundit on how he used MP3.com as a sort-of foreign-aid program for African musicians.
Via our effectively-nonprofit (well, it never turns one) record company, we had a sort of foreign-aid program for African musicians going for a while. We put their stuff on MP3.com and let them earn the "payback for playback" royalties. Those weren't a lot of money for most Americans (a few people made a lot, but a few hundred dollars a month -- what my band, Mobius Dick, was earning -- was doing pretty well). But a few hundred dollars a month is a lot of money in places like Uganda and Nigeria. Sadly, that was another casualty of MP3.com's collapse. If we can get micropayment-style systems working, I think that African musicians and artists would really benefit. There's a lot of talent there that's going underutilized for want of capital, in a whole range of fields.
