[HANASHIR:11782] An awesome resource!

[Ros Schwartz <ros_schwartz...>]

While I was scooting around the web looking for an address for Merri Lovinger 
Arian, I 
found the following link:  http://home.earthlink.net/~cantorwally/thesis.html

This is Paul Henry Schachet-Briskin's thesis for his degree of Master of Sacred 
Music, 
written in 1996, called:  The Music of Reform Youth.  It begins with some 
reflections on 
his personal experience, covers background history, includes lists of songs for 
various occasions, guidelines for songleaders, current status, and a look into 
the 
future.  It's also smoothly written & easy to read!

(This is one of the things I love about the internet ... that someone's 
six-year old thesis 
can be available, to provide continuing inspiration.)

And ... by the way ... I also found Merri, at the Synagogue 2000 website, at 
http://www.synagogue2000.org/ ... also very worth a visit, if you've never been 
there.

(Note to Adrian:  I would recommend both of these as links for the HN website,  
if not 
already there.)

Best wishes to all,

- Ros
