[HANASHIR:14508] new music website...www.hotshabbat.com

[SELINGER <SELINGER...>]

HN was even more amazing than the year before!!! WOW!!!

As Adrian suggested, I spoke to many members of the community about
what/where/how to post our music online. Jeff Klepper wisely suggested
that I start a new website using a name that rhymes with totshabbat.com. 

Thus we now have:   http://www.hotshabbat.com

To begin with I'm posting only music of people who attended HN '03. The
website contains audio files, sheet music, and/or links from these folks:
Peter and Ellen Allard, Merri Arian, Achi Ben Shalom, David Berger,
Theodore Bikel, Leah Fine, Jules Frankel, Debbie Friedman, Judy Caplan
Ginsburgh, Beth Hamon, Noam Katz, Steve Klaper, Jeff Klepper, Kol B'Seder
(Klepper and Freelander), Eric Komar, Ira Levin, Rick Lupert, Steve
Meltzer, Cindy Michelassi, Julie Newman and Greg Siegle, Dan Nichols, Ros
Schwartz, Robin Selinger (that's me), and Craig Taubman.  I've also posted
links to 8 additional songs that were sung at the conference, e.g. in 
song sessions and sharing sessions.

Altogether there are already over 80 songs posted. Many of these are
linked from jewishmusic.com's audio library, which is a fabulous resource;
I hope you'll consider buying CD's there and also from soundswrite.com,
which also posts many useful audio samples. 

At this point hotshabbat.com is a rough draft put together in a big
hurry over the last 24 hours. Artists, please let me know if I've made
errors or omissions and I'll try to correct them immediately. So far I
only posted one track from each donated CD. We have plenty of webspace to
post more tracks if you want to. 

Thanks again to all the artists who donated CD's and also to those whose 
work is linked from elsewhere around the net. And a big thanks to the 
whole community for surrounding me with the beauty of your music, the 
depth of your spirit, and the warmth of your friendship.
