Re: Holiday Music

Rochel,

Thanks for the tip.  I'm always on the lookout for sources of Jewish music
and this sounds like a good one.  Around New York City I've visited West
Side Judaica (Manhattan) and Eichler's (Brooklyn and Manhattan).  I wish I
knew of good sources for used recordings.

Is there any list of sources of Jewish music (recordings and music, in open
shops and by mail/internet order) on the internet or in print?  If not, is
there any interest in us creating such a list informally (as we did for
Jewish music libraries) by mailing in recommendations with name, address,
phone/fax/e-mail, hours(?), description?

Certainly if we can encourage stores to sell Jewish music there may well be
an increase in exposure, an increase in awareness, an increase in demand,
and an increase in the opportunities for those involved with Jewish music.

There is an amazing amount of music with special meaning to Jews  out there
already and more being created every day, much of it by list members.   We
learn about alot of it from each other in the group.  If only it was even
easier to find.

Bob
