While going through my list of NY #klezmer names this week, I've been looking into the Axelrod family of musicians who were from Zolochiv and came to NYC around 1906.They mostly became members of the Progressive Musical Benevolent Society which was a mutual aid society for klezmorim and other Jewish immigrant musicians in NY. Still trying to sort out how some seem to have moved a second time to Detroit and Chicago fairly early on.

The last person to play this rare boxwood flute was likely its owner, James Glencairn Burns, son of Robert Burns. Claire Mann is currently the only musician with permission to play it, & the flute – & Claire – will go on tour as part of a wider fundraising campaign called Saving The Home of Auld Lang Syne which will be launched later this year.

 Accept it that soon
 You’ll be drenched to the bone
 If your time to you is worth savin’
 Then you better start swimmin’ or you’ll sink like a stone
 For the times they are a-changin’
