[HANASHIR:2247] Re: (Josh) Miller Time

[Judy Caplan Ginsburgh <jerd...>]

Adrian,

I have not heard Linda's recording of This Pretty Planet, but there is a song
by the same name which is a round and was written by Tom Chapin.  It is on his
Family Tree recording.  It is beautiful and I actually do use it for Tu
Bish'vat.  I wonder if it is the same one?

There is also the old favorite - Atze Zeytim Omdim and I wrote some words to
the tune of "Achshav" that teach the Hebrew words etz, shemesh, geshem & eretz
Yisrael.  If anyone is interested, I will be glad to post.

Also, I used a portion of Karen Daniel's Tu Bish'vat Cha cha for a recent tot
Shabbat and it was well received especially since I gave the children shakers
that looked like fruit to play along with the cha cha beat.


Judy : )
