[HANASHIR:15298] Re: HHD songs for children

[Carol Boyd Leon <cbleon...>]

I'd like to offer a couple of new children's HHD songs.  Robin Selinger is 
posting the free sheet music and will let us know when they're available.

"I'm Sorry" is a very simple Yom Kippur (or any time?) one for young 
children.

"I'm All Shook Up," brought to you by the lulav, has a short but peculiar 
history.  My son had a role in "Grease" a few months back.  He asked me to 
show him how to play the guitar chords to "Those Magic Changes," and then I 
heard those chords in my living room for days on end.  Somehow they morphed 
a bit in my mind, got a new but definitely 1950's-style melody, and turned 
into "I'm All Shook Up" (which, however, is NOT the same as Elvis' song with 
a similar name!).

"I'm All Shook Up" teaches kids how to wave the lulav... except my ADULT 
choir has decided to sing it in the sukkah next month, complete with poodle 
skirts and black leather jackets.  So go figure.  Maybe we're all kids at 
heart.

Finally, I sent Robin a niggun for Shabbat -- ok, so it's got a few words, 
too, but far more lai-lai's.  She'll let us know when and where it gets 
posted.

Enjoy!
