[HANASHIR:6833] Re: Sukkot

[Ketzev2 <Ketzev2...>]

Hey there all--

I think Rick brings up a great idea here! In the last 10 years at least, and 
in the time since Manginot was first put out by TransContinental, there have 
been a proliforation of new and useful Jewish songs. It seems like most of 
them are geared around the holidays. It would be great to create a 
"Shireinu"-type resource for the Jewish holidays, etc. I also know the 
realities of editing, getting all the proper releases and copyright info, the 
list goes on.....

So here's my idea folks.... Now is the perfect time for us to create the 
solution for our question. I believe that a resource of this type might be 
even better if WE, the hanashir community, would create this resource book! I 
think we could/should organize a committee, and solicite music for inclusion, 
edit it and so on.... This is a big undertaking, I do know that, but there 
are certainly enough qualified people on this list who can contibute and/or 
be a part of this project to make it worthwhile....
So...............Any takers???

One final point, every resource we have is "out of date" the day after it is 
published, because good new music is always being (and I hope will continue 
to be) written. So...let's make this book with inside pockets for the 
inevitable, additional songsheets that we'll be using for the new songs that 
will written AFTER we publish this book!! 

Let's all talk about it, eh?
