Just a suggestion

[RUSSHARD <RUSSHARD...>]

In light of the recent list discussions of what music stores do and don't
carry, my suggestion would be to go to a couple local music stores in your
area and ask for CDs by your favorite Jewish artists.  I happened to do this
in the spring when there was a band I particularly admired.  I live in an
urban area and covered the territory.  Some were fairly well-stocked, and some
had no idea who I was talking about.  Turns out that the buyers vary from
store to store, and in least one instance, the floor staff loved the band I
was after and took the matter on personally to make sure they ordered more
CDs.  

So, do your favorite musicians a favor by making sure the places you shop are
reminded that we consumers enjoy and buy music by Jewish artists.  This idea
may seem simplistic, but hey...
