Oddly, this isn't in my collection, one which is, I believe, fairly
complete. I'll be sure to obtain a copy.

Dan Kazez and Marshall Portnoy both managed to fax me copies, and I passed

I enjoy your postings. I've dabbled a bit reading the cantillation interest
group too, but it gets a little beyond my level of knowledge. I usually have
to transcribe out the trope with Finale and add the hebrew transliteration
to succesfully practice well enough to get through leyning.
