AND (to give my personal imput on this)  using our MUSICAL knowledge to do a
mitzva is the true challenge of musical talent.  As I see it, musical talent (or
any talent) is an investment that G-d has made in us with the implied challenge,
"So, what are you going to do with it?"  Some of the people on this list - most,
I suspect - use this talent for the glorification of G-d by writing religiously
based music.  That is, in my opinion, the best possible use of the talent that
was given to us by our creator.

Just a thought.
