[HANASHIR:2010] List Policies

[Adrian A. Durlester <durleste...>]

Folks:

In keeping with my stated policy as list owner, part of serving the Jewish
music community does include a certain level of tolerance for
self-promotion, announcements of gigs, tours, new recordings, new songs,
songbooks, etc. Some of us do have to make a living at this, and we should
encourage and support each other in that.

I would ask, however, that we, as usual, limit our self-promotion to a
reasonable amount, and, whenever possible, take responses to inquiries and
other "commercial" activities off the list into private email once the
initial announcement has been made. That goes for those responding to the
announcement/inquiry as well as to those who made it.

That being said, I do wish to welcome Randee Friedman of Sounds Write
Productions to the list, and hope you will all find her a valuable resource.
Now, if anyone knows how I can get Mayer or Velvel Pasternak to participate
on a regular basis.....

And Mr. Klepper has been somewhat silent as of late. Jeff-passing up the
chance to send us some Hanukah parodies? I'm surprised!

Links to Sounds Write, Tara, Transcontinental and other resources are
available from the Hava Nashira web site:

We encourage you to patronize the few Jewish music publishers and suppliers
there are-and discourage, as always, the illegal and/or unethical copying or
sharing of copyrighted material and lead sheets.

Chag Sameach
