Klezmer Music

Klezmer Music
Christmas is so obscenely overhyped for 2 months every year with all that horrible Xmas music. Scaleback?

Christmas can take the hit with 2.5 billion Christians in the world. Why can’t there once and for all be a scaling down of obscene Christmas hype in favor of a lot more attention paid to Hannukah, which is an 8 day festival instead of just one day Christmas, nonsensically expanded to 70 days. Christmas is like wallpaper while Hannukah is truly unique. I like the lights and all the elaborate Christmas displays, but the awful music and the 50 Merry Christmases an hour on radio and TV are egregious. Ther needs to be more Hanukkah music played and a much higher profile for Hanukkah. It’s a fallacy that there is a shortage of Hanukkah music. There are plenty of Hanukkah songs from klezmer to funny songs by Tom Lehrer, Oscar Brand and of course Adam Sandler. Shame on famous Christian performers like Andy Williams for their blatant disregard and disrespect for the Festival of Lights, Hannukah.

I dont know if that is really a question, but i agree, i would love to hear 8 days of klezmer.
