[HANASHIR:6042] Re: New CD and songbook at HN

[MARS <regnadk...>]

I'd like to recommend that all of you give Carol's CD a listen -- I think
you'll find the music quite wonderful and catchy.  Although I can't quite
claim to be impartial, since I play guitar on much of the CD, it's really
the melodies themselves that Carol wrote that are terrific.  Her Shalom Rav
and Y'varechecha are beautiful.
