[HANASHIR:10762] Re: Ufros Aleinu

[LSalvay <LSalvay...>]

"O Guide My Steps" was written by Debbie Winston, who attended Hava Nashira 
for several years. In fact, the "Ufros Aleinu" part was added to the song 
during a HN songwriting session led by Julie Silver (I think it was in 1997). 
There were maybe 10 or 12 of us in the session, and we collaborated to 
"finish" the song with the Ufros Aleinu counter melody.

Debbie Winston lives in Eagan, MN, and I believe she is currently pursuing 
cantorial studies. She is an occasional contributor to this list as well -- 
at least, I think she's still out there!

(Hi, Debbie -- hope all's well, and that you're still writing wonderful 
music. When's your CD coming out?)

Hope this helps.
