Recognize this instrument, anyone? It's Jacopo's traditional Middle Eastern ud, a twangy, bulbous thing. He was invited to join a band of (mostly gypsy) musicians who play Eastern European Klezmer (secular Jewish) music at a local coffeehouse on Sunday mornings.
The motley crew of musicians assembles around too-small tables in a too-small coffee house, a problem compounded by the ring of coffee-slurping dancers that continually surrounds them:
This fabulous ex-hippie grandmother led the dancing:
And this is Olaf, giant Norseman and king of the gypsies:
Hopefully this will become a regular commitment (Jacob has succesfully argued that it's the most spiritually expansive thing we could be doing on Sunday mornings) so we'll post more photos when we can.

Okay, I have made my vocabulary contribution for the day.
I find it amazing that Jacob was able to find a place to actually play his ud - good for you!
I love Jake's hat! So cool.
