<< Mike:
We had this CD some years ago (pre-1990 at least) at our NPR station and it
was "withdrawn" as "too controversial". (unfortunately many people took the
recording the wrong way). Lots of folks didn't think it was pc and the
music director just didn't think it was worth it since there were lots of
other music to use. Ithought there were several really fine and clever
tunes on the CD and have a copy at home. But my favorite Chanukah album is
our local group: Zamir Chorale the "Lights" album. It's one of the finest
recordings of Chanukah music and especially for those who love choral
music. j. >>
Strange.....I think it is rather a stretch to consider this album not pc.
I don't have the Lights album.....
I will be doing 2 2hour shows of chanukah music and related sound (comedy,
stories, etc) beginning with thisSunday's show. There is just ton's of good
stuff out there.
The show airs Sunday 12 noon EST www.wmnf.org is where you can catch it
live or at your leisure in the archives.....ENJOY!!!
