Does Klezmer have some of that 11 count music? I had a music teacher describe the way they kept time by counting 1234 1234 123...

I am so sorry I just saw this question! My mind has been in other places lately! In my Klezmer book most of the songs are in 2/4. There are a few in 3/8, though. I love the Klezmer because of that mystical sounding minor runs they do...it's great stuff!
If you are interested in the book I'm using, it's The Compleat Klezmer (yes, that is how they spell compleat) by Henry Sapoznik.
Also, there is a nice little documentary floating around out there about Klezmer by the BBC....worth looking for!
