RE: articles in JUDAISM magazine

[Ari Davidow <ari...>]

Rezyl, Robert,

I couldn't agree more with you, Reyzl, that the articles in that 
special issue of JUDAISM magazine should be online. I have e-mailed
folks at the magazine, from editor to production, and they haven't
been ready to consider it. I even put a link on the "Klezwords" page
to encourage people to do the same, and am following up to the list
with the same message:

   A special issue of Judaism magazine, 
   http://humwww.ucsc.edu/judaism/Win98.html, 
   Volume 47, Number 1, Winter 1998, was dedicated
   to Klezmer and Klezmer revival. Edited by
   Mark Slobin, and including articles by both
   academics, and well-known klezmorim
   (sometimes wearing both hats) such as
   Hankus Netsky, Alicia Svigals, and Frank
   London. Not yet available online. E-mail
   Murry Baumgarten, dickens (at) cats(dot)UCSC(dot)EDU,
   the magazine editor, and give him ammunition 
   to convince the magazine's managers to do so.
