[HANASHIR:4234] Re: Everybody's Got a Little God in 'em"

[Rebjoe <Rebjoe...>]

Chevre,
I was pleased to see such a profound discussion of my song, "Everybody's Got 
a Little Music In 'Em" on this list.  I'm glad that my lyrics can stir up 
such wonderful d'rashot.  The truth is, when I wrote the song I was looking 
for a simple way to teach kids that they have easy access to God - God is in 
them and everywhere.  Music can be a powerful metaphor for God:  it touches 
our souls, makes us happy - but we can't see it - only experience it on so 
many different levels.....

A funny story about that song:  When I 1st wrote it several years ago,  a 
little boy came up to me after a concert and asked me, in all seriousness:  
"Rabbi, What's a "bidagod?"

Listen to the song sometime,  "Everybody's got a little bidagod in 'em...."

I think it's like a pikachu -- some kind of pokemon or something.

P.S.  BEBWH - drop me a line sometime...........
