Hi, Doug!
Umm, the least common denominator on the net requires that you hit
the Enter or Return key at the end of every line, like an old teletype.
Your message arrived formatted word-processor-style, with linemarks
only at the ends of paragraphs.

I'm writing classical music, and some of my work is overtly Jewish.

Hmmm, I wonder---a bit dated, but where do Leonard Bernstein's first
and third symphonies fit in your picture of Jewish music?
