Re: Have accordion, will travel

[Rich Glauber <rglauber...>]

Dear friends, I keep self-censoring this letter out of some kind of fear of
appearing foolish, but with your forbearance, I'm going to post it and let
the chips do what they will.

I'm leaving Toronto after a four year stint in the Jewish community, and
will be on the road for most of September and October.  I have a nice gig
leading high holiday services for grades 4-8 at Kol Ami in White Plains,
NY, and after that, I am quite flexible.

I had a thought:  wouldn't it be great to visit some of the communities in
the New York area, share some music, continue the process of community
building which to my mind, is one of the wonderful aspects of this
listserv.  I emailed my friend David Jaffe who I met at Hava Nashira, and
he invited me down to Maryland for a community gathering on the Saturday
night of Sukkot.

I'm curious if there's anyone out there who would be interested in having
me and my music be a part of one of your community's gatherings during
sukkot or simchat torah (or possibly during the days of awe)  Money is not
my motivation at this time; it's more important for me to spread out a bit
and share music with the wider Jewish community.

For the record, I've done hundreds of school and synagogue shows, I play
guitar, accordion, and lots of other instruments, I'm great with kids, and
I can make music with just about anyone.

So please, consider this my one permissable self-promotion exercise, and if
you are interested in sharing your community with me, please email me
privately.

Thanks,

Rich
