Just a thought - my colleague Linda Hirschhorn has a wonderful song called WE 
REMEMBER THEM for Aids awareness - that she would be delighted to offer up 
i'm sure - vocolot (at) sirius(dot)com and I have a HELP TO HEAL THE WORLD with 
a 
refrain of El na refa na la from one of Hanna Tiferet's niggunim - for kids' 
chorus. Let me know if anyone is interested and I can send the music and 
lyrics.

I also don't know if this is an appropriate forum but perhaps it could be . 
As a freelance musician/performer I am always looking for contacts of people, 
Synagogue Educators/ Cantors or Program Directors who put together cultural 
arts programming. I have just returned from a Houston JCC arts series weekend 
 (Craig was already there,) and would love to send relevant info to program 
directors all over.
This year I've already performed at a number of congregations staffed by many 
members of this list and thought we could exchange that type of info as well 
- ie who has the type of programming we can slot into. whether it is working 
with community choruses, concertizing, or music workshops and 
artist-in-residencies.

And finally, I like the idea of offering recordings to colleagues at a 
reduced rate. For those of you who are not familiar with MOSTLY MATZAH - 
Passover songs for kids, it is now out on CD and I will follow Craig's 
example of making it available at a discount. I know that I support and 
recommend works of my coleagues - new and old - whenever I can. I will be in 
the studio with Rick Calvert in mid-April finalizing  the recording of his 
incredible music. Watch for it by June.
