RE: @carkner@glammr.us

this clarifies what happened to the grant I was involved with as a team member in that maybe hadn't reached active status and wasn't being defunded by this effort, although another Klezmer Institute project was, deemed as being DEI because it aimed to make music manuscripts accessible (🙄)

I have copies left of the zine I made for my talk here in Montreal which I'd be happy to mail roughly at cost $10CDN in Canada/ $10US to USA/world. It's 20 pages and gives an overview of what the Progressive Musical Benevolent Society was and profiles of some interesting members. Feel free to DM.

not a very exciting post, but for various research reasons to help me and others, here is my working list of musicians in the Progressive Musical Benevolent Society (& some associates). Will certainly update it over time as I identify mystery people and so on.

Trying to nail down the birthplace of some Progressive Musical Benevolent Society members for my list and was interested to see on the WWII draft card of this Minsk-born New York pianist that he worked for something called Labor Stage. Although it sounds like a 21st century construction worker temp agency I googled it and it was actually a workers entertainment theatre owned and operated by the ILGWU. (!) pretty cool.

Finished writing my zine to bring to Montreal for my presentation in a week, pretty happy with what I managed to cram into 20 pages. Test printed a copy at my work yesterday (seen here) but I'll have to get them printed nicer. Already noticed some typos to fix🫣it's about a mutual aid society of New York klezmer musicians I've been researching. would be open to mailing some in March after getting back to Vancouver.

working on my ongoing list of musicians in the Progressive Musical Benevolent Society for my research, and here in the 1945 local 802 directory I see that one of the many Preislers in P.M.B.S. (a drummer) started to style himself Jose Perez 🕵️

Also Happy Powers (the stage name of the guy above) rules

I'm writing my zine about the Progressive Musical Benevolent Society to bring to Montreal in 2 weeks for my presentation and I was blanking on what was another purely trade based NY Jewish mutual aid society to compare it to. (I remembered the Bialystoker Bricklayers Benevolent Association, but that has a home city angle too.) and then I remembered this excellent letterhead above a letter of regret I saw at YIVO last year🥸👍

Catching up on this recent Radiant Others episode with members of the Klezmorim (early west coast klezmer revival band founded in the 70s) and like the host I'm quite shocked they were rehearsing 4 days a week for 4 hours per day 🫣🎻 that's dedication. My Library of Congress klezmer research gets a lil shout-out on the episode too!
