Dear Ari:
My "screed" was certainly not about generating publicity for
"Transmigrations". Word of mouth, newspaper reviews and disc jockeys are
enough.  Not to mention "fans" like John Zorn  and Zalmen Mlotek...(Hi
guys) 
  Its about TRUTH and JUSTICE and not taking any crap.  Is it wrong for
me to stand up for myself?  I don't think so. I'd like to believe that
you and anyone in my position would do the same.  I don't enjoy
confrontations but your private response to us was just so wanting; 
ignoring both issues and feelings. And,  while some strong feelings are
in  evidence in my open letter,  I am not angry at you.   Its  what you
wrote that misrepresents my work that bothers me.
 Simple as that. This is a tempest in a teapot;  I know nobody really
cares, and I'm cool with that.  Please understand that I  acknowledge
and  respect your work;  you provide a valuable service to the Jewish
music community.   
You are big on "fighting back", as you say.  Thats all I'm doing.  A
liitle "raving" is good for the soul; prevents stomach cancer...
Take it easy.

PS  I notice that you have "adjusted" your review since we wrote you
privately  One more time should do it.
All I'm asking for is NO LIES, NO INSULTS and NO PERSONAL  JIBES.
PPS.  You would do well not labelling people with such offensive words
as "Marlboro Man" (for me) and "whitebread" for Debbie Friedman.
Lets take it to a higher level.  Such  words only serves to diminish the
writer.
You ever hear of =loshan hara=, by the way?
