[HANASHIR:2967] RE: Yamim Noraim book/set

[Daniel A. Singer <dasinger...>]

I suppose that I'm writing to the very same group that I'll be meeting this
summer in Oconomowoc, WI.  My name is Dan Singer and I'm a songleader? from
MI (originally a cheese head, of course!)  I'm curious about Hava Nashira.
Should I make copies of the actual sheet music for people, or are they only
interested in the words when I'm being evaluated?  What is the general age
group of the members I'll be working with?  What is a typical day?  How's
the nightlife? Just curious.
