Real Music & Real Estate . . .

Yiddishe Cup’s bandleader, Bert Stratton, is Klezmer Guy.
 

He knows about the band biz and – check this out – the real estate biz, too.
 

You may not care about the real estate biz. Hey, you may not care about the band biz. (See you.)
 

This is a blog with a gamy twist. It features tenants with snakes and skunks, and musicians with smoked fish in their pockets.
 

Stratton has written op-eds for the Wall Street Journal, New York Times and Washington Post.

Do I need to get a durable power of attorney for you yet? :)

That title by the late Del Spitzer sounds particularly filthy. Let me know know if you get a charge out of it.

How could you omit Will E. Makit and Betty Wont’s immortal classic “One Hundred Yards to the Outhouse”?

4 Ken G. { 07.02.14 at 1:20 pm }

Did you find your book there, Bert? Or did they somehow miss it?

5 David Korn { 07.09.14 at 3:50 pm }

worst ever
