Hi All!

In response to Michael's question:

"What is a GUCI songbook and is it available?"

A GUCI (Goldman Union Camp Institute) songbook happens to be one of my very, 
very favorite songleading resources, and it comes from the camp where I spent 
4 incredible summers!  I believe that much of it comes from the old NFTY 
chordster, and then there have been many, many songs added on over the years. 
 They had -- and still have -- a very strong singing tradition at GUCI, and 
the songbook reflects it by including a huge variety of music -- traditional 
and modern prayer melodies, classic and contemporary jewish music, israeli 
music, lots of great folk tunes, silly songs, english, hebrew, even a bit of 
yiddish, I think!  I was first inspired to play the guitar and be a 
songleader when I was a camper there (eleven years ago!), and my songbook 
came in very handy then... and it still does now!!!  

I believe you can still buy one -- you'll probably have to call or email the 
camp office. Their email address is:  <A HREF="mailto:gucioffice (at) 
aol(dot)com">gucioffice (at) aol(dot)com</A>    and their phone 
number is:  317-873-3361.  I hope you're able to get one... enjoy!

Happy Thanksgiving!
