Re: Spanish Hannukah songs

[Jonathan Schorsch <jonjack...>]

Dear Noa:

I am glad to hear you have recovered from your illness.  However, your
silence has been far longer than 4 days.  Having never received a response
from anyone (my e-mail is from Nov. 22!), I went a week before Hanukah and
bought a copy of Arella's tape at nearby Down Home Music.

A few days ago Arella herself showed up at my door with a copy of her
indeed wonderful tape in hand.  She said you had contacted her to send it
to me immediately.  Seeing my address, she dropped it off herself.  I
invited her in, we talked, I explained to her the situation but took the
tape anyway, to give to a friend.  She refused to take money for her work
and trouble.

Down Home Music sold the tape for less than $12.00, as I recall.  I will
send her the money directly.  Sincerely,

Jonathan
