Re: survey of who is doing what jewish music

[kathy martin <vegan...>]

Well, I am a fan of Contemporary Jewish music, like Schlock rock, etc.  I
am unfortunate in that I don't have a place to listen to Jewish
contemporary music, or any kind of jewish music, as far as that goes.  I am
here in Kansas City, Misssouri where they don't have a big Jewish
community, and there are no Jewish stores or anything.  If someone could
give me a hint as to how to solve this problem, let me know.  I also
thought I'd reply to your survey.  Thought I'd let you know what I was
interested in.  Kathy Martin.At 08:54 AM 2/11/98 -0500, you wrote:
