[HANASHIR:15692]

[Robbi Sherwin <sherwin...>]

I just finished a 30-Song Kabbalat Shabbat CD for my congregation (along 
w/music partner, Scott Leader) and got permission to record every song - only 
one of the composers asked me for some monetary compensation for doing so, and 
that compensation ($36) went to a charitable organization that he runs. Most 
composers are very flattered, as I have been, to be included in congregational 
projects. Hey - if we were in this for the money, we wouldn't be composers of 
Jewish music! It's not that hard to do, and you can find most of the composers 
& contact information online. I'll be happy to pass on the information I have 
collected - when you're ready, give me a shout. I'm creating a link on my 
congregation's website with copyright information, website links, etc. for each 
composer (no, it' s not ready yet....) . The songwriters usually ask for two 
copies - I'm just about to send those out.....
