They don't do Klezmer cruises very often -- it appears from the article that
it's a once-a-year thing.

And there are occasional cruises with trad jazz.  In May I got a call to
"sub" on tuba with the Natural Gas Jazz Band for an all-day cruise on the
WWII Liberty Ship "Jeremiah O'Brien," which goes out on jaunts like this
once or twice a year.  (Unfortunately the call came on short notice and I
already had another gig, so I had to turn it down.)
