[HANASHIR:3767] Re: Question for Songleaders

[Carol Boyd Leon <cbleon...>]

I occasionally refer to my copy of the UAHC "Shireinu: Our Songs" as it 
includes Hebrew, transliteration, and translation and includes words to 
nearly 300 songs.  What I find frustrating about it, however, is that it 
doesn't indicate when a word or phrase or verse is repeated in the song.  So 
it works fine for people who basically already know the song and just need a 
little assistance with the words, but not as well for congregants who are 
struggling to learn... which is why I usually end up typing my own 
songsheets of lyrics.

I've also used an overhead projector (but I don't like the noise it makes!) 
and I've made a small stapled songbook of Shabbat songs (but mine doesn't 
allow for new songs to be added).  What I've thought of going to eventually 
is looseleaf binders, the kind that cost less than $1 at Staples, because it 
would be so easy to add or replace pages.  But then there's the issue of 
storage.  Always something, huh?!?
