[janeen kobrinsky <janeen...>]

thanks for sharing this information Josh ... I don't think you have to worry
about over-stepping the boundaries of this list

I wanted you to know that we sang the ever popular "josh miller tree song"
once again here in Fargo ND at our tu b'shevat seder ... it is the all time
favorite of our kids here (and of most of the adults )

looking forward to hearing the camp swig CD

thanks

> "We are proud to present our third camp album, Shir L'Yom Chadash (A Song
> for a New Day). It was 1975 when Camp Swig recorded its first album, Tov
> Lanu La-shir (It is Good for Us to Sing), followed in 1984 by Shir
> Milibeinu (A Song from our Heart). Shir L'Yom Chadash was created to
> preserve the musical heritage of Camps Newman and Swig as they have
evolved
> over the last decade, and to allow all of us whose lives have been touched
> by the beauty of camp to again bring part of that heritage into our homes.
> This album features some of the music that has been popular at our camps
> during the 1990's as well as music composed by campers and staff. In
> support of Camp Newman and Camp Swig's ongoing role as a premiere creative
> centers for Reform Jewish music, proceeds from sales of this album will be
> donated to a special fund to strengthen the music programs in years to
come.
>
> Each day at camp is filled with song. This album traces a musical journey
> through a Friday at camp. Our days begin with Mifkad Boker (the morning
> gathering), where we sing morning prayers as a camp community. The morning
> shirah (song session) features a selection of much loved hits--songs heard
> almost every day at camp. Although Friday begins like any other day, as
the
> sun begins to set on Friday afternoon and we prepare for Shabbat, a new
> spirit enters. We gather as a community to welcome the Sabbath bride with
> L'chah Dodi and together we sing ourselves to the spiritual high point of
> the camp week, Shabbat evening services. The Shabbat service on this album
> features a selection of our beautiful camp prayer melodies. Music
surrounds
> our Shabbat dinner, beginning with Shalom Aleichem and ending in the
> Shabbat shirah. The music recorded in this Shabbat shirah reflects a taste
> of the favorite camp Shabbat melodies and the overwhelming energy of a
> Shabbat song session. Every evening ends with the music of closing circle,
> a beautiful all-camp ritual based on the traditional Jewish bedtime
liturgy.
>
> We hope that the music and memories on this recording help to sustain the
> joy of camp in your lives. By taking the energy and spirit that this music
> helps to create at camp into your hearts and into your communities, you
can
> fulfill the vision that this collection of shirim (songs) can become a
Shir
> L'Yom Chadash, a Song for a New Day."
