“Good goy that I am, we’ll, of course, do ‘Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel.’ I think people will like our ska version,” said Carlin, who lives in Carroll Gardens, near other kids stars Dan Zanes and Randy Kaplan.
“Maybe it’s the fumes from the Gowanus,” he said when asked why Brooklyn is the epicenter of pre-teen tunes. “Maybe we’re all so happy being parents in Brooklyn, rather than bitter Manhattan songwriters.”
The all-day event also features a gift fair with books, jewelry, mezuzahs, and giveaways — but no latkes (the grease will ruin the merchandise)!
Hanukkah gift fair with John Carlin. 11 am–4:30 pm. Brooklyn Heights Synagogue [131 Remsen St., between Clinton and Henry streets, (718) 522-2070]. $10 per person. Carlin’s show is at 3 pm.
