Hi Glen,

Sorry I couldn't answer sooner - Thursday to Saturday is a Jewish holiday and I don't use my computer during that time.

A significant (or maybe THE significant) portion of traditional Jewish music is Polka style. I would not recommend at all to play German songs or polkas at a Jewish old age home. Some of these people may have been in German concentration camps and watched their loved ones march to their death to these tunes. Wagner is out of the question -- he was a great supporter of Hitler and wrote many of the third reich anthems and theme songs.

But many of the Jewish songs you'll find in the fake book will work very well with polka styles. In fact tomorrow night I'm doing a Jewish performance and will lean heavily on polka.
