Treat your father ( or yourself) to a trip down memory lane this Father's
Day, June 15, at the Klezmer Brunch at Tonic. Philadelphia area tenor, Richard
Lenatsky, will perform oft-neglected folk and art songs made
popular by such past luminaries of the Jewish music scene as Seymour
Rechtzeit, Ben Bonus, Sidor Belarsky, and Jan Peerce. Let's keep the songs
and the memory of the artists who performed them alive.
Richard will be accompanied on piano by well-known musician and Yiddish
teacher (Uof Penn), Alexander (Sender) Botwinik.
Who is Richard Lenatsky? Residing in West Chester, PA, I've
been performing Yiddish art songs in the Phila. area and Amherst, MA, for
about 10 years. I appeared most recently as soloist at a Makhela Concert,
(Jewish Chorus of Western MA), organized by Allen Davis, my long-time friend,
musical collaborator and fellow list subscriber with whom I will be giving
a concert at the National Yiddish Book Center in Amherst, MA on August 10.
