[HANASHIR:6207] Re: Who Wrote, Recordings, and More

[Carol Boyd Leon <cbleon...>]

Adrian, I wouldn't want to burden the staff unduly, but they do prepare 
service songlists so I don't think it would be hard for them at a minimum to 
make available a list of song titles and songwriters.  I agree that it would 
take a staff person time to discover if sheet music exists and where.

Providing lead sheets would be fabulous... especially right at the worship 
service so newbies could easily sing along and the chords would help 
songleaders immensely once they got home.  I realize there'd be lots of work 
and advance planning and photocopying involved so maybe I'm dreaming.  But 
at the very least, a simple listing of song titles and songwriters would 
help make sense of the tapes many of us made.  I usually asked a staffer 
after each service about the name of a song I particularly liked, but there 
are lots of songs I still can't identify.

For instance, how about that niggun that goes "lai lai lai lai..." : )
