[HANASHIR:8516] Re: Bat Mitzvah song

[George Weiner <gweiner...>]

Robbi,

Is your rabbi the Kerry Baker from New City, New York?  If he is, I grew up
with his sister and lived around the corner from him.  I'd like to get in
touch.  I've asked about Kerry Baker before because I'm familiar with Biti
and have seen the lyricist's name.  I've been told that Kerry Baker is a
woman.  Which is correct?

Thanks,
