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.


 
 

JANIS’ BAND

by Bert Stratton

Maybe one in 50 tenants is a derelict.

Try this . . . I’ve rented to a Cavani String Quartet violinist, a dancer in the Cleveland Ballet, and a prize-winning chef.  Plus tons of engineers, teachers, waiters and social workers.

I have a tenant who is always on the road with his band.  For a long time I didn’t know what band, because he was always on the road.

So I Googled him. He’s with Big Brother and the Holding Company.  Some of the Janis Joplin’s guys are still out there doing it.  My guy—my tenant —is young.  Maybe he props up the original guys.
