[HANASHIR:15798] RE: copyrights...

I just signed the mechanical license agreement for my Shlomo Carlebach recording "Lulei Hemanti". It's officially licensed by the Carlebach family. I spent years taking guitar lessons and practicing so I could further Shlomo's legacy. And hopefully, I'm not doing anything wrong by saying it's on sale on ebay right now in my Ebay Store - Dynamic Arts of New Jersey. It can also be found on Ebay under "Shlomo Carlebach".
