Di anyone on this thread mention Shari, Lois, And Brams Chanukkah CD (titled 
something like Lights of Long Ago).

I thought it was quite cute.

Recently I submitted some recordings to The Los Angeles Times for reviewing in 
the children's holiday issue.    These are the reporters comments in today's
                                        Los Angeles Times,Dec. 10, 1998.

"Di Grine Katshke"-(The Green Duck)-A special find. Playful and soulful animal 
songs charmingly performed by noted Yiddish singers and Klezmer musicians. In 
Yiddish;lyric translations provided. ((The reporter called me as soon as she 
heard this CD and told me that even though she is not Jewish and of course, 
doesn't understand one word of Yiddish, she thought that this one of the best 
recordings (Jewish or not) she had received in a long time. **

"Zing Along With Cindy Paley: Yidddish Folk songs for the Family." Perfomed by 
veteran children's recording artist Paley. contains transliteratins and lyrics 
in Yiddish.

" Chanuka Favorites With Judy Caplan Ginsburgh" Ginsburgh's lovely voice and 
warmth make these traditional and comtemporary seasonal songs especially 
appealing for young children; in  Hebrew and English, tranliteration included. 
(By the way, Judy just released a wonderful recording for kids called "Havdala 
Pajama"; great kids recording!)

**Though we only received "Di Grine Katshke" about 2 months ago this looks to 
be one of our "Top Ten" sellers for the year.  Since Hatikvah does specialize 
in Yiddish recordings, I expect this to be a year 'round seller for many years 
to come. 

There is a new reocrding by the "Jewish Rap Parody Group".. 2 Live Jews called 
"Christmas Jews". This is a parody recording performed to Xmas melodies. the 
content is "Jewish comedy", but it might be offensive to some people. I have a 
few copies behind the counter (under the counter) which were sent to me by the 
producer, a friend.  This is NOT traditional Chanukah Music;, but if you like 
Dr. Demento, this is for you.
