Well Robert i guess you didn't get my private email re: this subject. Sorry.
Anyway I heard this idea at a National Havurah Summer Institute from David
Shenear(sp?) who is part of the group Ari mentions in the second quote. David
sang the song, combining "She'll etc." with "L'cha etc." and told the story of
how "She'll etc." was really about Shabbas. I don't know whether the story is
his or whether he heard it from someone else. In any case I liked both the
concept and the weaving of the music.
