Dedicated to Ellen Rebecca Helfman Kremer
There isn’t enough space here to express appreciation and gratitude to Ellie for enduring my youthful immaturity, then aiding and encouraging my growth as lover, artist, husband, father, grandfather and rabbi.
We’ve learned love is trust and laughter and lust.
Ellie, This is one heck of a birthday present! Thank you.

With thanks to:
my next-older brother Dan, whose guitar-playing in high school led to mine; my high school Talmud teacher’s brother-in-law and my parents (who had a small wonderfully eclectic record collection) for enabling me to acquire the 1969 Guild f30 heard here; Elias Lieberman, early collaborator; Hamakor Israeli Dance Troupe (Boston) for six years of musical, social and cultural pleasure; Kol Minor a cappella (Wynnewood, Pennsylvania) for a joyful confidence-building musical decade; Laura Huberman, partner in performance and musical exploration; Suzie Neustadter, vocal guidance; John Crotty, luthier extraordinaire; and a wealth of soulful prayerful music at Ramah camps and elsewhere; Kavveret (סיפורי פוגי); also, jug band and folk (thank you Marty and Dan!), and much more.

Unless otherwise noted:
• Jonathan Kremer: vocals, guitar, kazoo
• Kit Worton: bass, keyboards, mandolin
• Barney Lihn: drums, djembe, goat hooves, tambourine
• Ken Ulansey: saxes

At her 90th birthday online gathering, Julia Helfman (Ellie’s mom) talked about the community in which she and Joel live. It’s good, she said, though “the hardest thing about living here is all the dying.” The rest wrote itself.
