[HANASHIR:13813] Re: Purim Song Search

[Freedabet <Freedabet...>]

Yes, I agree those are great books, but they stop decades ago.  Manginot has 
some more recent songs for holidays, and Shireinu has almost none.  I 
personally would like to see an occasional supplement/update to Shireinu 
which would include more recent songs and, for the first one, also fill the 
'holiday' gap.
