[deborah dolin <kibitz30...>]

hi!
There are a couple of songbooks i really like for the holidays and for 
children...
Velvel Pasternak's "Holidays in Song" and ""Childrens Songbook"  are both 
great.  they have the melodies and guitar chords written in.  there is alwyas 
Maginot and Shireinu as well.  Pasterrnak boos that I metioned are great.
hope this helps!

While we're on the topic of song searching. The music teacher at my school
asked me for a list of songs (and lyrics if available) about Purim/Pesach
that she can teach to the multireligious students. Is there a book of Jewish
Holiday songs that you could reccomend containing the songs and music?

Thank you
