[HANASHIR:4152] Re: new member potluck songs

[Andy Curry <acurry...>]

Dear Susan,

"A potentially unsuccessful endeavor"?  I'm laughing out loud, because you
are so right.  And yet:  It is also a potentially hugely-successful endeavor.

The songs you choose should, most of all, be easy to sing.  I have great
success with ALL ages with Craig's "I Am a Part of the Circle", and I think
that is a great song for helping people to know that there is nothing to be
nervous about.

Above all, be unabashedly sincere with whatever you choose to do.

Lots of mazal,
Andy
