[HANASHIR:13648] Re: Ruach 5761/5763 songbook question

[Eric Komar <Eric...>]

Chevrei -

Having typeset the Ruach 5761/5763 songbook for Transcontinental, I can
proudly say this is a compilation of some of the hippest new Jewish music
around. It has both liturgical and non-liturgical songs by Rick Recht, Dan
Nichols, Debbie Friedman, Jeff Klepper, Steve Dropkin, Beth Schafer, and
others. Like the Complete Shireinu and Chordster, every songleader should
have this book.

It must be added that Transcon's Managing Director Joel Eglash did a
fantastic job in producing the book and the accompanying compilation CDs.
Anyone who has been to Jewish conventions has surely witnessed what amazing
things he has done in the promulgation of the best Jewish music.

Hope this helps!
