  Greetings Everyone!

  I am so pleased to be thumbing through the finished version of the "Complete 
Notated Shireinu," which will be made available in a few short weeks. I want to 
publicly laud thanks and praises to Transcontinental Music and its staff of 
people working so hard to make composers and the publication of their music a 
priority. We should especially give a "shout-out" to Joel Eglash, Erik Komar, 
and others who have put much time and effort into "getting it done, and done 
right."

  As part of the major promotional effort to get everyone and their cousins to 
purchase a copy of this newest version of the Shireinu series, I am going to 
give some of you die-hard Shireinu fans an opportunity to help welcome the 
5,000+ guests to the Boston Biennial. "How," you might ask? 

  On December 5th, at 5:00 pm, thousands of people will be greeting and meeting 
each other informally as they take the Convention Center by storm, and 
Transcontinental Music will be there with live performances of some of the 
great songs they can learn with Shireinu as their tool. I am asking that any 
and all songleaders, composers, and fans of this music and this series of 
publications please volunteer to join me in singing, on a makeshift stage, in 
front of the Transcontinental display. We will have three vocal mics, and two 
designated guitar mics to make sure the music is heard. Please send an e-mail 
to me, Cantor Brad Hyman at: Cantorb (at) pacbell(dot)net saying 1) who you 
are; 2) what pieces (from Shireinu) that you would like to perform; 3) how soon 
you are arriving in Boston so we can meet (briefly) and run through details.

  Know this: there will be 15-20 minute song blocks, for about two hours total, 
that we need to fill. Not everyone is guaranteed to sing exactly what they 
want, for many people may have the same request, but I'm going to try and make 
sure that you are singing what you ask to sing. I'm begging that the composers 
step forward and volunteer to lead some of their own pieces. Also understand 
that there will be a very good chance that the time slots will fill up fast, so 
please get your replies to my request in as soon as humanly possible. 

  If you are a composer featured in Shireinu, are unable to attend the 
Biennial, but feel that your piece should be heard for what ever reason...don't 
be shy! Let me know so I can make sure your piece is sung.

  I look forward to hearing from many of you over the next few days. I am even 
more excited about the possibility of actually meeting and singing with you in 
Boston in the next few weeks!

  Happy Turkey! (Gobble-Gobble)-
