Thanks, Barry.

Where can I get more info on Klez Kamp, and on YIVO (What or who -excuse
my ignorance - is YIVO ? ) Not really sure I can afford to go, but perhaps
I could keep some kind of Kesher with them. Is there any kind of
Newsletter for klezmers?

I live in Tekoa, which is in Judea, about 8 miles south of Jerusalem. We
have a number of very talented musicians there.

What kind of song? How do you plan to get it published? Is there a way you
can communicate it to me over the Net? Do people do this sort of thing? Is
there - I'm suddenly all fired up by this idea - any direct transmission
of Jewish Music on the net, and who does it and how? (I don't have a
MIDI or sound card or sequencing software or equipment, unfortunately)

At any rate, I'll be glad to hear your song and if you wish,
comment/critique/suggest/advise
