[HANASHIR:8690] Re: How do I start out songleading?

[Harris, Brian <BHarris...>]

         I'm happy to announce Transcontinental Music is putting together a
notated version (with melody line) of the Shireinu
         Songbook/Chordster and a CD recording.  These will be released at
this years UAHC Boston biennial in December.
         I would recommend you all to put your orders in advance because of
the high demand for these products.

My question is, if you have a resource like the Chordster, but don't know
the melodies, what do you do? I read music. But this is my first year in
Jewish music. I've learned quite a bit so far, enough to get by. But, so
much of what you get your hands on is just lyrics and chords. A musician
cannot live on lyrics and chords alone...
