[HANASHIR:4452] Re: Seudah shlishit, etc.

[Judy Git <hillel...>]

Those of you out there who know me have to KNOW what I'm going to say about
this.  Camp versions of songs - with hand movements, etc. are terrific as long 
as
they don't destroy the song.  I have seen things done with various songs (the
most offended against still being "Not By Might") that trivialize them, mess up
their tempo, and turn what is basically a religious song into a nursery rhyme.
My humble request is that, before doing ANYTHING with a song, listen to how the
artist who wrote it does it and remain true to what the song really is.  Thank
you.
